Dublin City Council is intensifying its efforts to manage the impact of Storm Boelo, expected to affect the city from Saturday, 24th October through Monday, 26th October 2026, coinciding with the Bank Holiday weekend.
The Council's Flood Response Team is vigilantly tracking weather developments, anticipating heavy rainfall, high tides, and strong winds that may cause coastal flooding in vulnerable parts of the city. In preparation, teams are actively clearing fallen leaves and debris from drainage gullies, particularly in low-lying areas prone to flooding during autumn storms.
Throughout the weekend, crews will remain on alert, conducting inspections of critical infrastructure and responding swiftly to any flooding incidents. Residents are encouraged to avoid parking over drainage points, exercise caution when travelling in heavy rain, keep updated with weather advisories, and report urgent flooding issues to the emergency out-of-hours service at (01) 222 2222. Updates will be available via Dublin City Council's website and social media channels.
