Met Éireann records more than 50mm of rain as downpours hit Dublin and Louth
More than 50mm of rain was recorded in parts of counties Louth and Dublin during downpours on Monday. Status Orange rain and thunderstorm warnings for the two counties, as well as Meath and Wicklow, expired at 2pm on Monday. Met Éireann had warned of potential impacts including widespread surface flooding, difficult travelling conditions, lightning damage and very poor visibility. A UK Met Office amber alert for counties Antrim, Armagh and Down was in effect until 8am on Monday. The same three counties remain under a yellow rain alert until 6pm on Monday. READ MORE Met Éireann forecaster Brandon Creagh on Monday said 60mm of rainfall had been recorded in Dundalk, Co Louth since the early hours. He said there was 50mm of rain in Ardee, Co Louth, and 54mm in the Phoenix Park and Glasnevin in Dublin. He said coastal conditions were stable, while some smaller rivers posed a risk of flooding. In Dublin, Children's Health Ireland said there was flooding at Temple Street hospital but this had 'no major impact on patient care'. It said families would be contacted if any appointments or care plans were affected. 'Our priority remains the safety and wellbeing of our patients, families and staff.' In Co Fermanagh, footage posted online showed flood waters in the Marble Arch Caves as well as on a number of roads including Sligo Road in Enniskillen, which was described as impassable by police on Sunday.

A Met Éireann status yellow warning for counties Kildare and Monaghan expired at 2pm on Monday. This warned of the potential for localised flooding and difficult travel conditions. Limerick City and County Council said it responded to a flash flooding incident in the Dromcollogher area on Sunday evening. Sandbags were distributed to protect at-risk local properties, with farmers supporting the effort by supplying water pumps. 'Fire crews stood down at approximately 2am as water levels had receded,' the council said. 'All roads in the area are open this morning. Motorists are advised to proceed with caution.' The latest forecast suggests other parts of the State will be drier on Monday, albeit with some isolated showers. 'Later in the afternoon, rain in the east will ease and become patchy. Highest temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees in moderate, occasionally fresh, northwest winds,' Met Éireann said. 'Tonight it will become largely dry as any lingering rain in the northeast clears, leaving clear spells and isolated showers for the night. Lowest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees in light west to northwest winds.' [ St Swithin's Day: It's raining today - will it rain for the next 40 days?

However, more frequent showers are expected to spread from the west through the morning and early afternoon, with high temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees. Wednesday and Thursday are to be drier days, with isolated showers forecast. Outbreaks of rain and drizzle will develop on western and southwestern fringes later on Thursday, when temperatures will reach highs of 18 to 22 degrees. Friday is forecast to get off to a cloudy start with scattered showers, but with sunny spells developing later in the day and temperatures rising to highs of 20 degrees.

‘Very difficult' travel conditions and some homes without power after torrential rain
Met Éireann has issued a Status Orange rain and thunderstorm warning for four counties on Monday with risk of widespread surface flooding and very difficult travelling conditions. The alert, covering counties Dublin, Louth, Meath and Wicklow came into force at midnight on Monday and will last until 2pm. Impacts include 'very difficult' travelling conditions, lightning damage and 'very poor' visibility. A Status Yellow rain warning is also in place for Kildare and Monaghan from midnight on Monday until 2pm. The national forecaster said potential impacts include localised flooding, poor visibility and difficult travelling conditions. Some employers have told employees to work from home where possible to avoid travelling. Meanwhile, the UK Met Office issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Antrim, Armagh and Down between 6pm Sunday and 6pm on Monday. A Status Amber/Orange rain warning for Antrim, Armagh and Down expired at 8am on Monday. There will be scattered heavy showers and longer spells of rain, especially across parts of the midlands and mid-west this evening. However, temperatures of 17 to 22 degrees are expected before another rather damp night tonight, with rain heaviest across the east of the country as temperatures hit lows of 13 to 15 degrees. The new week will start with further showers, heaviest over parts of Leinster and east Ulster with spot flooding possible before conditions brighten in parts of the west and south tomorrow evening. Highest temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees are expected, before another mild and rather wet day on Tuesday when temperatures hit highs of 16 to 19 degrees despite widespread showers in the afternoon. Met Éireann expects the coming days to feature 'generally mixed conditions' to start the week, forecasting 'showers or longer spells of, at times heavy, rain with spot flooding possible'. There will be fewer showers by midweek. Sunny spells and scattered showers are expected on Wednesday, with rain becoming less heavy than previous days and more isolated by evening as highs of 15 to 19 degrees are forecast. A largely dry day is on the cards for the Thursday, broken by a few light showers as highs hit between 17 to 20 degrees. Met Éireann says an 'Atlantic westerly regime looks set to dominate' for the days that follow. "The best of the drier and brighter weather will be in the east and south with cloudier conditions and a greater chance of rain or showers as well as breezier conditions in the west and north,' they said. "Temperatures look set to remain close to the seasonal norm.' Maeve McTaggart
