Umbrellas at the ready: Warning of heavy rain overnight and tomorrow

Met Éireann has issued a weather warning for overnight and tomorrow.

MET ÉIREANN HAS issued a weather warning for overnight and tomorrow forecasting heavy rain in all parts of the country.

The meterological service says that a warning is in place from midnight tonight until midnight tomorrow.

It says that it will be a wet day countrywide tomorrow with between 40 and 60 millimetres of rain forecast in Munster and Connacht.

In Leinster and Ulster between 30 and 50 millimetres of rain is expected with a further risk of downpours of between 20 and 30 millimetres across the country on Friday.

The Met also says that north to northwest gales or strong gales will develop tomorrow along Irish coastal waters from Mizen Head to Valentia to Slyne Head.

    Wilson.
    I am puzzled and at the same time worried about journal readers for giving you so many thumbs down on your reply.
    Thumbs downers must be suffering from water on the brain.

    Makes you wonder what motivated the spanish armada to invade ireland.
    There wasn’t even Guinness around as an incentive.
    Not surprising they are looking for a financial bailout.

    I honestly rather rain than sun. yeah yeah get your red thumbs ready but honestly, in my opinion anyways , I rather the cold. I ride a motorbike and although its more dangerous in the wet , I still rather riding bike in the rain.
    I’m one of those people that melts if someone switches on a lightbulb a mile away. heat just drains me.
    I welcome our cold/wet weather :)
    sorry

    When God needs to pee – he thinks Ireland is a toilet simply because he had a quick look at the news one night and saw Lowery,Denis O Brien, Pee Flynn, Beverly Flynn, Bertie, Healy Rea, Twink, Olivia Mitchell, Oisin Quinn and a lot more that are always on TV and not in jail. I expect it to rain for years to come.
