Orange and yellow rain warnings in place for South East

The South East is affected by two rain warnings this morning - an orange and two yellow ones.

Waterford, Wexford, and Kilkenny are under the orange warning until 1 o'clock tonight, while Tipperary and Carlow are under two separate yellow warnings.

The Tipp one will last until 6 o'clock this evening, while Carlow's will also remain in place until 1 o'clock tonight.

There are already traffic delays being caused across the South east because of excess water on roads.

One area particularly affected is part of the N25 just outside the Rhu Glenn Hotel. Tailbacks are back as far as the top of the Glenmore Hill.

Met Éireann is warning drivers of the possibility of floods and dangerous driving conditions.
