IMPACT:HEAVY RAINS are expected today and tomorrow with a risk of strong winds. However, the rainfall will not have the intensity of the deluges that have flooded parts of the south, west and midlands, Met Éireann said last night.

“The real problem is the rain that’s already fallen,” according to forecaster Joan Blackburn.
