Rainfall warning in the west but a mostly dry weekend for Electric Picnic

Met Éireann says heavy rain is on the way.

A RAINFALL WARNING remains in place for the west of the country until tomorrow morning with Met Éireann predicting that heavy rain will spread to all areas tonight.

The Status Yellow warning is in place for Connacht, Donegal, Clare and Kerry and remains as such until 6am tomorrow morning. Met Éireann says that 30–50 mm of rain could fall in those areas over today until then.

Rain will be lighter and patchier in east Munster and south Leinster but the heavy rain in the west and north will spread eastwards to all areas overnight.

The Electric Picnic festival is taking place in Stradbally, Co Laois this weekend with Met Éireann predicting partly cloudy conditions for tomorrow and Sunday with rain only in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Moderate to cool temperatures of between 13 to 15 degrees are being forecast.
