After a tumultuous Saturday marked by heavy rainfall and Status Orange conditions in parts of the southwest, Sunday promises a calmer day with sunshine interspersed with isolated showers. However, the reprieve is expected to be short-lived as rain could return this evening.
Those in the southwest of the country can breathe a sigh of relief as they wake up this Sunday morning as today will be a lot calmer than Saturday.
Flooding caused chaos in many areas, particularly in Bantry in west Cork and Cork city, as the cleanup operation continues this morning.READ MORE - Orange and yellow weather warnings as Hurricane Kirk closes in on Ireland - with stronger winds to come The respite will be short-lived, however, as the rain may return this evening and potentially become heavy at times.
