Well shit. So much for that Indian summer then.
Met Éireann have warned of up to 33mm of rain to fall in the next 24 hours as October gives us a not so warm welcome, with the Independent getting meteorologist Vincent O'Shea's ear who says we're in for a drowning until Thursday evening at least. Yay.
''We have warnings for much of Munster and Leinster, with rainfall to reach up to 33mm over the next 24 hour period, taking its way through to tomorrow morning. There is some very heavy rain forming in places this morning. It's bad enough in Dublin, but it's much worse in South Munster – in places like Waterford and Cork areas. We are expecting this wet spell to continue right through to the end of Thursday. Expect overcast and a lot more rain to come.''
Prepare to spend the next 2 days dodging assholes with golf umbrellas on tiny footpaths and unexpectedly deep puddles. Oh autumn, how we missed you.
