Motorists are advised to drive with extra care this morning, after torrential rain overnight led to spot flooding on some roads.
Up to 40 millimetres fell in parts of Dublin, Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Cork and Waterford.
Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow alert for heavy rainfall in Leinster, Cavan and Monaghan.
It's in effect until around 3 o'clock today - but conditions are expected to improve later.
Some thundery downpours are still likely.
