Met Eireann Issues Week-Long Flood Advisory Warning


Met Éireann has issued a weather advisory to run until next week.

It says there'll be rain, which could result in flooding.

The forecaster says it's not necessarily due to the amount of rain, but because it will be falling on already saturated or waterlogged soils, causing it to pool.

 

If you are in a flood-prone area, the advice is to prepare, "have sandbags filled and ready to go", said Paul Downes from Met Éireann.

"You mightn't need to have them in place yet, but have them ready.

"If you're driving especially at nighttime on backroads be prepared for meeting flooded spots around bad corners and things like that."

The advisory is valid from today until next Friday night.
