Kerry County Council is reporting there’s a lot of surface water on roads, and that a number of fallen trees have been cleared so far.

The authority notes, however, that winds are picking up again, and extreme caution is required on all routes for the rest of the day.

Airports are being impacted by the weather, with Kerry Airport confirming the morning inbound Dublin flight was cancelled, and the incoming Faro flight was diverted to Dublin.
