Rain is going to build along southern counties across Munster and south Leinster later this evening
Storm Ciarán will track eastwards off the southern coast later as rain and wind grip parts of Munster and Leinster.
A separate Status Yellow rain warning is also in place for Kerry until midday today, along with a wind warning for Clare, Kerry and Galway until 11am."We do have scattered blustery showers moving over the country at the moment and some of those showers will be heavy at times and squally too. "So, later on this evening, cloud is going to build along southern counties - counties across Munster and south Leinster - and we will start to see outbreaks of rain."All this rain, combined with already saturated grounds and high river levels in these counties may lead to some flooding."By tomorrow morning, Storm Ciarán will move off towards the UK, but it will leave behind scattered blustery showers for the morning.
"If you talk to any landowner, anybody involved in agriculture, they'll tell you that literally the best of free-draining soils in the country are totally saturated at the moment."We're getting unprecedented levels of storm activity so early and we haven't even gone into the winter.
