Wind and rain will batter the country again on Wednesday with a Status Yellow warning in place.
Experts revealed the jet stream is “locked” and caused heavier rainfall.
Announcing the alert will be in place from 4am to 9pm on Wednesday, a Met Eireann spokesman said: “It will be very windy on Wednesday with widespread gales.

“Some severe and damaging gusts may occur and there is potential for localised wave overtopping along Atlantic coasts.
“A spell of heavy rain will occur, leading to flooding in places.”
There is also a Status Orange marine warning for stormy conditions along the west coast from Roches Point in Cork Harbour to Slyne Head in Galway and Malin Head in Donegal.
Winds will reach storm force 10 at times between 6am and midnight on Wednesday.
The national weather service also shared warnings by the UK’s Met Office for a Status Yellow wind and rain alert in counties Antrim and Down with a separate Status Yellow rain warning for Armagh, Fermanagh, Tyrone, and Derry. The spokesman added: “Very windy with a band of heavy and possibly thundery rain sweeping eastwards across the country with localised flooding.
“There will be some severe and potentially disruptive wind gusts, especially in Atlantic counties and near the south.
“Staying very windy or stormy through the afternoon with rain clearing into the Irish Sea and a mix of sunny spells and heavy thundery showers following from the west.
Councils were earlier mobilising their departments to respond to potential flood damage in clean-up operations.
Meanwhile, a scientist warned autumn and winter weather is becoming more unsettled due to jet stream changes.
Professor John Sweeney of Maynooth University said: “We are paying the price for climate change.
“In Ireland, for example, this October was warmer in many parts of Ireland than it was in May. That is quite unusual.
“We are looking at quite exceptional changes taking place."
