Cork and Kerry are preparing for heavy rain and strong winds as two weather warnings come into effect. The latest warnings follow two recent storms, Storm Austen and Storm Boelo. Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Cork and Kerry from 1am to 9am on Monday, October 26.
Thousands of homes remain without power following Storm Boelo. The storm caused widespread disruption, leaving 18,000 households without electricity. The weather service has issued further warnings across the bank holiday Monday and into the following week. Cork, Galway, Kerry, and Mayo are among the regions affected by the ongoing weather alerts.
Storm Boelo hit the region earlier this week, causing significant damage and forcing emergency services to respond to multiple incidents. The storm was part of a series of weather events that have impacted Ireland in recent days. Officials have warned that more severe conditions are expected in the coming days, with additional rainfall and strong winds likely to affect the region.
The situation highlights the increasing frequency of extreme weather events in the area. Local authorities are urging residents to stay informed and take necessary precautions. Power restoration efforts are ongoing, but full service is expected to take several days. The impact of Storm Boelo continues to be felt across the region, with communities working to recover from the disruption.
