Met Éireann has issued Status Yellow, Orange and Red warnings as Storm Bert gets set to bring “severe flooding” and 'damage to homes and businesses'
Met Éireann has warned of “severe flooding” and "damage to homes and businesses" for parts of Ireland as two counties have been placed under a Status Red warning ahead of Storm Bert.
Storm Bert will displace the current cold Arctic airmass, which brought snow and subzero temperatures to many areas of Ireland, resulting in a number of low temperatures, ice and snow warnings. The national forecaster says Storm Bert is expected to cause significant flooding impacts, which will continue across the weekend even after the rainfall warnings expire, due to the delayed effect of rivers discharge.
