Drivers urged to keep revs high and speed low as heavy rain forecast

Weather warnings are in place with gardaí appealing for motorists to slow down to compensate for dangerous driving conditions.

The gardaí said local flooding today and tomorrow could present hazardous conditions on the roads and they asked for those travelling to slow down and allow more time for their journeys.

The appeal came after Met Éireann forecast heavy rain in parts of the East and South.
