A major clean-up operation took place in Co Cork this morning after heavy rainfall yesterday saw 55mm of rain across the city.
The city centre and suburbs experienced exceptionally heavy bursts of rain, with localised flooding in some parts.
Up to 15 council, fire brigade and garda crews were deployed across the city to manage the impact on traffic and roads.
A Status Yellow wind warning for gusts of up to 110km/h in Atlantic coastal counties expired at midday.
Met Éireann had issued the warning yesterday for counties Cork, Clare, Kerry, Limerick, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo.
Cork City Council's Director of Services and Operations, David Joyce, said there would have been no significant flooding if the same amount of rain had fallen in lighter showers over a longer period of time.
"As soon as the rain reduced to normal volume, flood waters quickly receded," he said.
"A number of locations which experienced longer flooding incidents included the South City Link Road, N40 South Ring Road, Monahan/Centre Park Roads and Blackpool".
Assessments of damage to property are underway this morning.
Meanwhile, two separate marine warnings came into effect at noon.
The Status Yellow gale warning, from Belfast Lough to Strangford Lough to Howth Head and on the Irish Sea, north of Anglesey, is in place until 5pm this evening.
Southwest winds will reach gale force at times.
A small craft warning from Erris Head to Belfast Lough to Carnsore Point was also issued at midday.
Southwest to west winds will reach force six or higher at times this afternoon and the warning is in place until 9pm this evening.
From 2am tomorrow a small craft warning is in place for all Irish coasts with southeast to east winds expected to reach force six or higher at times.
This warning is in place until 1am on Thursday.
