MET ÉIREANN HAS warned that lingering flood risks will persist today in parts of Leinster and Munster, despite an overall improvement in weather conditions today.

While the worst of Storm Claudia has passed, forecasters say the effects of recent heavy rainfall will continue to be felt, with already saturated ground leaving some areas vulnerable to renewed flooding.

This morning will begin mostly cloudy with patchy rain, drizzle and mist, but conditions are expected to brighten steadily from the north.

Long spells of sunshine are forecast later in the day, with just isolated showers.

Daytime temperatures will range from 7 to 12 degrees, coolest in Ulster, in light to moderate northeasterly winds.

Emergency crews in several counties remain on standby after yesterday’s flooding in parts of Dublin, Wexford and Wicklow, and local authorities say drainage systems are still under pressure in some areas.

Councils have urged motorists to continue exercising caution on routes where surface water remains an issue.

Tonight will be largely dry with clear spells, although an isolated shower may drift into Ulster or north Connacht.

Temperatures are expected to fall to between 0 and 4 degrees, bringing a chance of frost in light northerly breezes.

Officials say river levels in the east and south will continue to be monitored through the day as the clean-up from Claudia continues.
