Climate change is making serious flooding far more likely - and much sooner.
A study by Maynooth University and Met Éireann warns the kind of flooding caused by Storm Chandra will happen more often as the climate warms.
Scientists say the amount of rain that fell over a week is now three times more likely because of climate change
Rainfall levels that once might have been seen every 150 years could now happen every 60.
They found Storm Chandra itself wasn’t extreme on the day - but it followed a week of heavy rain that left the ground soaked and rivers already full.
When the storm arrived, there was nowhere for the water to go.
