Parts of Ireland are under a 19-hour weather warning with Met Eireann predicting torrential rain and possible thunderstorms. Six counties face the worst conditions, amid a miserable forecast.
Parts of Ireland are bracing for torrential rain and thunderstorms in the coming hours, with a 19-hour weather warning issued by Met Eireann for six counties.
While these counties will experience the worst of the weather, the rest of the country won’t be spared from the rain. The overall forecast for today states: "There'll be some patchy rain and drizzle about this morning, but it will brighten up for a time from the south with hazy sunny spells developing. However, thicker cloud will spread from the Atlantic this afternoon with rain developing in Atlantic coastal counties, turning heavy and persistent by evening.
As we hold out hope for an improvement, the forecast for the coming days remains quite challenging. The meteorological service has predicted: "A wet start on Tuesday with a band of rain pushing gradually eastwards over Ireland with the continued chance of spot flooding. A clearance to sunny spells and isolated showers will follow across the west during the morning, extending eastwards into the afternoon with the last of the rain clearing from the southeast by around mid-afternoon.
