Met Éireann

There's a good bit of rain on the way in the next 24 hours

Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow rainfall warning for 11 counties.

WE’RE HOPING YOU got a chance to go out in the sunshine yesterday, because the weather is about to take a turn.

Today will be mostly cloudy, with patches of drizzle or light rain in places at first, according to Met Éireann.

“Many areas will become dry during the day, but it will remain dull and misty along southern and Atlantic coasts, with further patches of light rain, drizzle and fog. This evening, rain and drizzle will become more widespread.”

Maximum temperatures will be 13 to 17 degrees.

Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow rainfall warning for 11 counties, mostly along the west coast: Longford, Cavan, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Roscommon, Sligo, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick.

The warning is in place from 7pm tonight until 7pm tomorrow evening.

“A spell of rain will lead to accumulations of 25mm to 35mm of rainfall over a 24 hour period,” Met Éireann said.

    It’s not rain, it’s the tears of baby Jesus that …. that …. that the weekend is nearly over.
    And not to do with the other thing that’s nearly over.

    @Chewey Bacca: what thing? The Royal Wedding? The Referendum? The football? Anyway, considering the amounts of rain involved, I’d say it a slightly larger emission than tears!

    @An Observer2:
    And instead of enjoying the wonders of a different land to bask in, you unnecessarily gloat on a news article comment section?

    The money it cost you to be there has been wasted.

    @An Observer2: Ah here. 24 degrees is hardly “sweltering”. Don’t ever travel south of Rosslare Harbour or you could be in for a shock.

    Yep lashing in Leitrim but bone dry in Fermanagh! Surely Met Eireann can figure out some cross border cooperation so hikers, farmers, fishermen etc can get their weather news from one source!

    Still no mention of the geoengineering chemtrailing that’s creating these weather patterns, look up people we are being sprayed and the spraying is blocking out the sun and making it rain…
