Status Yellow rainfall warning issued for 5 counties as thundery conditions expected

Highest temperatures today are expected to range between 16 and 19 degrees.

LAST UPDATE | 25 Jul 2020

A STATUS YELLOW rainfall warning has been issued for five counties this afternoon. 

The warning has been issued for Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow and Waterford. 

Met Éireann says the warning will kick in at 2pm and will remain in place until 8pm this evening. 

The forecaster warned that heavy showers with localised thundery downpours will lead to accumulations of between 20 to 30mm of rain with a risk of spot flooring. 

Looking at the weather in general today, scattered showers and sunny spells are expected to extend in from the west.

These conditions will become widespread and heavy or thundery at times this afternoon, the forecaster says. 

Highest temperatures today are expected to range between 16 and 19 degrees. 

Tonight is again forecast to be cloudy with scattered showers most frequent in the west. However, it will be drier overall in the east and southeast. 

Tomorrow is due to be mostly cloudy with scattered showers to start. These showers are to become more isolated in the morning with good sunny spells developing. 

However, cloud is expected to increase in the southwest during the afternoon ahead of rain pushing in. 

Highest temperatures tomorrow are expected to range between 15 and 19 degrees. 

It’s forecast to be a wet night tomorrow as rain in the west is due to extend eastward across much of the country overnight with occasional heavy bursts. 

Looking forward to Monday, rain is to clear gradually eastward during the day with bright spells in the west extending to most parts by evening.

    Piers Morgan doesn’t seem to mind being called a wnaker if it means a 50 quid donation for fighting cancer.

    Which seems quite reasonable of him.

    I just insulted Piers Morgan for free, after you call him a #megabollox or a #giantdouche, simply tell him you donated 50 quid.

    Twitter can give an outlet for so much that would go unnoticed. Or unreported like.
    “Ahhh so nice. They want our protections with billions for NATO but wanted to spend billions with those they want protection from. @realDonaldTrump said that doesn’t work for the US and got what he wanted.
    It’s so nice to have an actual leader… one with common sense & resolve!”

    @Tom Molloy: you know quotes don’t work unless you say who you’re quoting right? PS given recent developments in Saudi this wouldn’t be the best quote about Trump to use.
