"Met Éireann has warned of hazardous travelling conditions with a possibility of fallen trees and loose debris and wave over-toppping. Forecasters say there may be localised flooding, especially where the ground is already saturated from recent rainfall, river flooding and difficult travel conditions. Winds are expected to be "very strong and gusty" particularly at coasts and exposed areas. Irish Rail and other commuter services advised customers to keep an eye on their communication channels for any potential updates."
""The very unsettled weather is going to continue this week," Met Éireann's Matthew Martin said. "Storm Chandra will track northwards and bring strong winds and spells of heavy rain for many southern, eastern and northern counties. "Tuesday will be wet and windy. The weather remains unsettled for the remainder of the week. "Wednesday will bring a mixture of showers and bright spells. Thursday will bring showers and longer spells of rain.""
Storm Chandra will hit Ireland on Tuesday, bringing bands of heavy, persistent rain and very strong, gusty winds across southern, eastern and northern counties. Met Éireann has issued Status Yellow rain warnings for Carlow, Kilkenny, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow and Waterford until 11pm, and Status Yellow wind warnings for thirteen counties until the same time. Hazardous travelling conditions are expected with possible fallen trees, loose debris, wave overtopping, localised and river flooding, and difficult travel where ground is saturated. Irish Rail and commuter services advised customers to monitor updates. Winds should ease Tuesday night but the week remains unsettled with showers.
