More floods to finish driest July in years

More heavy rain and local flooding is on the way, although we will still have had the driest July in years.

The thundery storms that caused flash floods in Dublin and Cork last week continued over the weekend, and more can be expected in the coming days.

Several inches of rain fell over Cork, Waterford, Kilkenny, and Wexford yesterday morning in a series of torrential downpours between 8am and 11am, before the thundery conditions moved northwards and up the west coast into the afternoon.
