Cork is currently under a Status Yellow Rain Warning as issued by Met Éireann.

Further spells of heavy rainfall tonight and over the coming days on already saturated ground may lead to excess surface water and further flooding.

Motorists and road users should expect poor visibility and hazardous driving conditions during periods of heavy rain.

Cork County Council’s Severe Weather Assessment Team is actively monitoring the situation.

Crews have inspected known risk locations and will continue to monitor and respond as required.

Pumping arrangements are in place at locations prone to flooding.

The Council is advising members of the public to:

• Exercise caution on the roads as surface flooding may occur.
• Avoid driving through flowing or standing water.
• Be mindful of cyclists and pedestrians during adverse conditions.

Issues such as flooding or road damage should be reported to the Council’s Emergency Out of Hours number: (021) 4800048 or your local Council Office during working hours.

For emergencies, call 999 or 112 and request the appropriate service (Fire, Ambulance, Gardaí, or Irish Coast Guard).

In the event of water supply disruptions, contact Uisce Éireann at 1800 278 278.

Cork County Council will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
