Sunny spells and showers are being forecast after two Met Éireann weather warnings expired on Sunday morning.
A status orange warning was in place for counties Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Cork and Waterford until 10am and a status yellow warning covered Leinster, Munster, Cavan and Monaghan until 11am.
The warnings said there could be localised flooding, poor visibility and difficult travelling conditions.
Flooding was reported in parts of Co Waterford, with social media footage showing significant surface water having built-up in Tramore.

Carlow County Council said it received reports of spot flooding in the areas of Pembroke, Burrin Street and Millrace in Carlow Town.
“River levels are extremely low and this flooding is caused by the massive amount of rain that has fallen overnight and our drainage network being overcome by volume. As rain stops this flooding should go quite quickly. We are continuing to actively monitor the situation,” it said in a Facebook post.
A yellow UK Met Office warning remains in place for counties Antrim, Armagh, Down, Tyrone and Derry. It says heavy rain may cause some disruption to transport and expires at 2pm.
Met Éireann said after a wet start, there will be sunny spells in the southwest on Sunday, which will extend across to the northeast by early afternoon.
“Some well scattered showers will follow too, a few heavy later, in parts of the north and northwest.”
Strong winds are expected along southern and eastern coasts, but these should ease as the rain clears. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees are forecast. Sunday night is to see a good deal of dry weather, though scattered showers are possible, mainly in the west.
Monday is to be a mostly dry and bright day with long spells of sunshine, turning hazy at times and with a chance of isolated showers. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees are forecast.
Tuesday is to be a wet and windy day and more of the same is expected on Wednesday, with blustery conditions and thundery showers possible.
“More mixed conditions to follow for the rest of the week, with good spells of dry weather and lighter winds, though occasionally breezy, with some rain or showers around. There’s a chance that it may become more settled during next weekend.”
