The East has been issued a Orange flood warning including 'Spells of heavy rain. Impacts: flooding, dangerous driving conditions, poor visibility.'

There are also Yellow rain warnings in place for much of Leinster and Ulster, which are set to last until Saturday morning at 9am.

This has raised concerns with residents, as this week saw Storm Babet flooding towns in East Cork. Some Midleton residents have even reported that these towns were flooded in around 15 minutes.
