galway daily weather weather warning for heavy rain in effect

Galway is expected to receive extremely heavy rainfall on Saturday morning as a Status Orange weather warning has been issued for Storm Berh.

Met Eireann has issued a Status Orange Rain warning for Cork, Kerry, Galway from midnight tonight to 10am on Saturday.

All three counties are expected to experience intense periods of rainfall in a short period of time tomorrow.

Sorm Bert will likely cause surface flooding, and possible coastal flooding, and create very difficult travelling conditions on Saturday.

Before and after this intense period of rain in Galway, a Status Yellow wind and rain warning for all of Ireland will be in place for Storm Bert.

From 10pm tonight until midday on Saturday there will be very strong southeast to south winds coupled with heavy rain.

There is a possibility of localised flooding across the country, with Met Eireann also warning motorists to be wary of fallen trees.
