Motorists are being urged to take extra care on the roads, while householders in flood-prone areas are advised to remain alert. The warning follows a period of unsettled weather across the northwest, with persistent downpours leaving the ground saturated and raising the risk of surface water flooding.

Donegal County Council’s Severe Weather Assessment Team is monitoring conditions and has confirmed it will continue to provide updates as the situation develops.
