This morning’s high tide at 06.44 a.m. passed without incident. This evening’s high tide at 19.05 p.m. is expected to cause some localised flooding and ponding.
It is likely that some roads and parking areas along low-lying quays in the city centre may suffer localised flooding during high tide e.g. Morrison’s Island, Fr. Matthew Quay, Trinity Bridge, Union Quay, Wandesford Quay, Lavitt’s Quay, and South Terrace.
Commuters are advised to drive with care when travelling into the city centre this evening. Crews will be on standby across the city.
Where necessary, road restrictions may be put in place to ensure smooth flow of traffic in impacted areas.
As forecasted weather and tidal conditions are variable at this time, Cork City Council is continuing to monitor the situation closely.
