Uisce Éireann confirmed that the water conservation order will be in place for Dublin and south Tipperary – as well as parts of Kildare, Meath, Wexford and Wicklow – until the end of August 26th.

The warning comes into place at 12pm on Tuesday and will end at 9am on Friday

Gardaí reported that a man died during the storm, which also brought localised flooding, fallen trees, transport disruption and school closures.

Alan Mahy is now constantly monitoring the weather forecasts and has called on Met Éireann to issue flood warnings as well as wind and rain warnings in forecasts.

The unsettled conditions are set to continue with some areas to get four times the usual amount of rain over the next week
