DAY ONE OF the big storm is over and we hope you all managed to remain relatively dry wherever you were today. Met Éireann is predicting similar sights again tomorrow with a spell of heavy, thundery rain along the south coast at lunchtime which will become widespread by nightfall. Wonderful.

Here’s a look at some of the images you’ve been sending us from around the country of the storm which we learned today is called ‘Xenja’.
