Cork City Council’s Flood Assessment Team met this afternoon as high astronomical Spring tides are forecast again this evening. It is likely that some roads & parking areas along low-lying quays in the city centre may suffer localised flooding during high tides eg.  Morrison’s Quay, Fr. Matthew Quay, Trinity Bridge, Union Quay, Sharman Crawford Street, Wandesford Quay, Frenche’s Quay, Proby’s Quay, Crosses Green, Lavitt’s Quay, Kyrl’s Quay and South Terrace, Rutland Street, Sawmill Street and South Mall. High tide is expected at 19.34 tonight.Please note heavy rain is also expected this evening which could lead to spot flooding. Commuters are advised to drive with care. Cork City Council crews will be deployed across the city and when necessary, road restrictions will be put in place to ensure smooth flow of traffic in impacted areas. 

In further weather news, there is no flood risk expected over the bank holiday weekend.
