A STATUS YELLOW rain warning remains in place for the rest of the evening, with heavy rainfall already being recorded in some parts of the country.
Dublin Fire Brigade was among those to note that the wet weather may dampen bonfires around the country with Met Éireann stating that rain will clear into the Irish Sea in the early hours of the morning.
Hey @MetEireann, just wondering if the rain is down for the night ? Asking for a friend 👀 pic.twitter.com/OBDRDP0wZD

A Status Orange rain warning was in effect in four southern counties earlier this afternoon and Cork City Council has said that flooding in Silversprings slip road junction earlier was now clear.
For the rest of the country and Northern Ireland, a Status Yellow rainfall warning is in effect for the remainder of this evening.
Tomorrow is also likely to see persistent heavy rain with a Status Yellow warning for the country to kick back in on Wednesday.
Storm force winds will mean a Status Orange warning off the west coast before some sunnier weather on Thursday.

A sham president from a sham democracy.
@Paul G: A sham president created by a sham democracy alright. They say empires crumble from within.
@Paul G: yup, sham democracy, owned and paid for by powerful forces in the media, gun, military industrial complex, big oil industries etc. The latest incarnation of the leader is the equally the craziest, most dangerous but cleverest yet. Trump is no fool, he knows exactly what he is doing.
‘drain the swamp’, don’t make me laugh.
I have a funny feeling the first result willl end up being the same as the final result but the Democrats will put out the urban legend about how democracy was thwarted. In other words they don’t believe in any democratic process that doesn’t support their viewpoint. At some stage they will blame the Russians but at the end of the day, the entire campaign across the US resulted in no reduction in military spending or the USAs plan to start new wars or fund on going ones. Two cheeks of the same …
@Cal Mooney: you’re literally explaining how republicans approach elections and spinning it 180degrees.
@David Linehan: You missed the point completely. OBama murdered 4 times more civilians by drone bombing than Bush (who is acknowledged as a war monger). Everything going on in Florida makes no difference to the civilians who will be murdered by Trump or anyone else who takes over. I beg you to differ.
@Cal Mooney: indeed, the rabble is entertained while the legions (oil) plunder.
@Cal Mooney: It seems to be even more complicated. Tim Cavona, formally Democrat who ran as an Independent (progressive Democrat) against Debbie W Schultz (was running the DNC when Bernie Sanders was shafted) has cried foul and has released footage of supposed ballot boxes being removed.
Thousands of votes have been ‘found’ since polling day which is very strange, I would give all the candidates themselves the benefit of the doubt unless proved otherwise but it seems the officials in charge in Florida have some serious questions to answer as to how they run their stations when it is so open to dispute.
@David Linehan: the delusion is real.. stay objective.
@Cal Mooney:’Two cheeks of the same’ <- you're looking at it from an outsiders point of view( the war machine i don't disagree with you)..but for the people that live in the U.S. there is a huge difference between voting Republican and Democratic…healthcare being just one of them…
@Cal Mooney: Where are you getting your figures? While Obama certainly carried out more extra judicial murders with drones there’s absolutely no way Obama’s drone death toll comes close to the death toll under Bush’s watch.
The election is fraud , Democrats at their dirty tricks.
@Michael Maher: Not at all. A red state, no different then Jeb looking after his sibling all those years ago….or was that OK for you?
I love how the president of America says counting votes is an embarrassment to democracy and nobody bat’s an eyelid
@Dave O Keeffe: that’s because they are counting the votes wrongly as his party is losing
America, home of voter suppression, gerrymandering and legalised political bribery.
@Carlin Ite: not s bastion of democracy like Ireland
@Ronan Gallagher: as someone foreign said to me yesterday. Isn’t Ireland a ‘masonocracy’. I didn’t think it was a real word, but I instantly recognized the intended meaning.
@Greg Blake: stop talking to strangers
@Ronan Gallagher: we are toxic here but not nearly as bad as the yanks
Let’s be honest. Trump is an ahole,!
@JC: your the uneducated ass hole
@pearse: You’re
can’t be overturned now paddy power’s have already paid out
@Geoff Murphy: you might have to pay paddy back
Florida will have over a million new voters next time out. Let’s hope they don’t hold a grudge against the republicans that have until now denied them that right
What a bunch of greedy hypocrites.
have your say
