Cork City Council say minor flooding is expected in the city this weekend
Cork City Council is warning that a high astronomical Spring Tide will occur at 6.40am on Saturday.
This tide is predicted to cause minor localised flooding along low-lying quays:
Morrison’s Quay
Fr. Mathew Quay
Fr. Mathew Street
Union Quay
Trinity Bridge
South Terrace
Rutland Street
Sawmill Street
Lavitts Quay
Kyrls Street
Kyrls Quay
Crosses Green
Proby’s Quay
Sharman Crawford St
Wandesford Quay
Due to predicted very high rainfall late on Friday night and early Saturday morning there is a possibility that some rivers may burst their banks causing localised flooding at locations prone to this type of flooding.
People are asked to take extra care when walking or driving in such areas this Saturday and Sunday.
The advice is not to walk or drive through flooded areas or rivers and to obey the warning signage which may be deployed on roads and paths.
