Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather has been examining what is behind the current conditions and he says there is more to come.
Speaking on Newstalk Breakfast with Susan Keogh he said: "A depression to the south-west of Ireland has got caught by the jetstream and it developed very quickly and moved across Ireland.
"We are unfortunately in a cycle at the moment with a very active Atlantic and we have more low systems coming over the weekend.
"So once Storm Aiden passes today, unfortunately, we're not in the clear yet with more unsettled weather coming behind."
