🌧️ Storm Austen Update
Storm Austen has now passed, although we can expect some further rain and strong winds over the next few hours.
Rainfall levels were higher than forecast overnight, with between 30-35mm recorded across much of the county and up to 45mm in the Glencullen area.
✅ Key locations previously affected during Storm Chandra, including Cookstown Lane, Kilternan, Slate Cabin Lane, Enniskerry Road, Nutgrove Avenue and Llewellyn, were inspected this morning and are performing well.
✅Some localised surface flooding has been reported, mainly in the south of the county due to leaf fall. Our cleansing crews are responding and clearing affected areas.
✅Surface Water & Flood Management crews will continue to monitor conditions, and trash screens are being cleared today as a precaution ahead of the next spell of rainfall.
✅ While further wind and rain are forecast for tomorrow, no significant impacts are currently expected. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as required.
