Council Leitrim update — 2026-06-30

Leitrim County Council today confirmed that its National Severe Weather & Flooding Coordination Group met with key stakeholders to review the weather outlook for Ireland over the next 48 hours. The meeting was held in the council chambers this morning and focused on two main hazards that residents should be aware of: extreme high temperatures and an increased risk of flooding from heavy rain.

Council officials said the group will use the latest forecasts from Met Éireann to assess how these conditions could affect the county. While no specific warnings have yet been issued for Leitrim, the council is working closely with national agencies to ensure that any necessary precautions are communicated promptly. Residents are encouraged to keep up‑to‑date with local news and official notices should temperatures rise or rainfall intensify.

The meeting also reviewed past incidents in other parts of the country where heavy rain has led to road damage and flooding, underscoring the importance of preparedness across all counties. The council will continue to monitor developments and advise the public on any changes that may affect safety or daily life.
