Heavy spells of rain across the country have been falling on already saturated ground, with rivers close to bursting banks. And on Tuesday, forecasters issued a Status Yellow warning for rain that applies to all of Leinster as well as Cavan, Monaghan, Cork, Tipperary and Waterford. The warning came into effect at 11pm on Tuesday and will last until 11pm on Wednesday.

Located on Jambiani beach along Zanzibar's east coast, Drifting Cloud is a by Vincent Leroy that interacts directly with the wind. The sculptural work is constructed from carbon rods, joints, and kite- discs, forming a lightweight structure capable of responding to subtle air currents. The installation's modular components move independently while remaining part of a connected whole, generating a dynamic, constantly changing composition. Movements vary according to wind strength, ranging from fine vibrations to broader gestures, producing an organized yet unpredictable rhythm.

The man in the wind who keeps us awake tonight is not the black monk of the wind cowering in corners and crevices, or the white face under the streetlight stricken with the guilt of his noise, or the great slapping hand of the wind beating and beating the rainy alleyways while the torturer proceeds with the interrogation and the prisoner's risen voice bleeds over cymbals and timpani.

Tomorrow is set to be a milder day with highest temperatures between 7 and 11 degrees The alert will kick in early tomorrow morning at 5am, expiring five hours later at 10am, affecting predominantly the midlands and east of the country. It will apply to counties Cavan, Monaghan, Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Westmeath and Wicklow.
