The status yellow rain warning currently only affects Galway and will begin at midnight tonight, Wednesday. It is expected to remain in place for 24 hours until midnight on Thursday.
Met Éireann say that the potential impacts of the heavy rain in Galway include localised flooding, wave overtopping and difficult driving conditions.
A separate status orange warning for rain is in effect in Cork and Kerry today, with the south-west coastal counties experiencing persistent rain accompanied by strong onshore winds, high tides and elevated river levels.
