What the FloodWatch Status Means

FloodWatch shows how sensitive conditions are right now based on weather warnings and tide timing.
It highlights risk awareness, not certainty.

🟢 Normal

Conditions are typical for the coast.
No action needed.

🟡 Heads-up

Weather or tide conditions are developing.
It’s worth checking FloodWatch again later.

🟠 Alert

Weather warnings overlap with high tide timing.
Minor coastal issues or overtopping become more likely.

🔴 Urgent

Weather warnings and a very high, rising tide occur together.
Overtopping or flooding is possible, but not guaranteed.


FloodWatch is an early-stage pilot and is not an emergency warning system.
Always follow advice from Met Éireann and emergency services.
