Be very careful out there.

Met Éireann has predicted that we're in for an awful day today with heavy rain and flooding predicted all over the country. However, there is also a weather warning in place for five counties. The weather forecaster issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Kilkenny, Wexford, Cork, Tipperary and Waterford. The warning will be in place until tomorrow afternoon. It said: "From early hours of Wednesday to noon on Thursday, spells of heavy rain at times will give amounts of 30 to 50 mm with a risk of spot flooding." Meanwhile, there will be heavy outbreaks of rain covering the rest of the country today and temperatures will remain around the 10 degrees mark. "Today will be mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain over much of the country. The rain will be heaviest over Munster and east Lenister with a risk of spot flooding. Highest temperatures 9 to 11 degrees with moderate to fresh southerly winds, becoming strong and gusty in coastal areas of Leinster."
