In its latest update, Met Éireann says "heavy downpours of rain may lead to spot flooding" in counties which are impacted by the rain warnings while the wind warnings pose a risk of further damage being caused to already weakened structures and trees.

Travelling conditions are also likely to be dangerous at times.
