Weather warning: The south is about to get a lot of rain

A weather warning has gone into effect.

TWO YELLOW WEATHER warnings have been issued for the south of the country.

Met Éireann says that Kilkenny, Wexford and Waterford can expect between 25 and 30 millimetres of rain.

In Cork and Kerry, that number will be up to 40 millimetres.

The warnings will stay in effect until 9am tomorrow.

Elsewhere, the day will be largely cloudy with some outbreaks of scattered showers. Ulster and Connacht will stay mostly dry.

Tonight will see more outbreaks of rain.

Tomorrow, however, will see the rain clear and temperatures hitting 21 degrees.

    Thankfully those cats and dogs will be some sort of respite from the rain.

    Must agree, I’m out and about on a motorbike most days, it’s been one of the most pleasant and driest summer in a while, not the warmest though.

    Some sour people on here don’t mind them enjoy your holiday. Pretty much everyone uses social media to stay in touch when abroad, bang of jealousy off those with negative comments.

    RTE could save a lot of money by deleting weather forecasting from its schedule a simple graphic indicating rain would suffice
