Met Eireann’s latest updates to its forecast show rain battering the country over the coming days meaning a dry Christmas Day could be off the cards.
Heavy rain will extend countrywide from the southwest today reaching the north coast by early afternoon, and there is potential for spot flooding and pools of surface water.
The rain will persist across Ulster well into the evening hours, while a clearance will gradually develop across the rest of the country bringing sunny spells and a few remaining light showers.
