Storm Ciarán: 'Deep area of low pressure' set to bring strong winds and heavy rainStorm Ciarán is set to hit Ireland on Wednesday night as a “deep area of low pressure”, threatening strong winds and heavy rain. Heavy rain led to flooding in parts of Cork, Waterford and Wexford on Saturday night. Storm Ciarán will then bring heavy rain and strong winds on Wednesday night and Thursday. Met Éireann meteorologist Aoife Kealy said: “Even today [Sunday], heavy showers will bring a risk of localised flooding, especially to western areas and the north midlands. Then, more widespread and potentially heavy rain on Tuesday will lead to a further deterioration in ground conditions and river levels.
