IT’S SET TO be an ‘unsettled’ few days ahead with a number of thunderstorm and rainfall warnings in place today.
Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow thunderstorm and rainfall warning for Cavan, Donegal, Monaghan, Clare and Connacht. This warning will kick in at 1pm and will remain in place until 8pm.
Met Éireann has warned that there will be a chance of thunderstorms with spot flooding and a chance of hail.
The forecaster said this could lead to poor visibility and difficult travel conditions.
A Status Yellow thunderstorm warning for Clare, Tipperary, Waterford, Galway, Kilkenny, Laois and Offaly was earlier in place between 7.35am and 11am.
The UK’s Met Office has issued a Yellow thunderstorm warning for the six counties in Northern Ireland. This kicked in at 10am and will remain in place until 9pm.
Looking at the general forecast, heavy showers are forecast this afternoon and evening.
Tonight will see showers for a time, but they will die out in most areas. Showery rain will push into southern counties overnight.
Tomorrow, heavy showers in the south will gradually move northwards and will become widespread during the afternoon. They are expected to continue for the rest of the day with thunderstorms and spot flooding possible.
Met Éireann has said conditions in the week ahead will continue to be “unsettled”.

It still won’t increase the prices for them, hopefully it helps a small bit,
Where is this app and what is it called? This is the least informative article I’ve read outside of d’indo.
Does this app prevent price fixing and cartel actions.
Exactly!
Perhaps an app that identified cartels and crony/mercantilist state policies might be of more benefit to beef farmers.
Any idea when this will be launched?
‘Tis all a load of bullocks
The filthy state of the animals in the marts would turn anybody off bidding, give them a good shammoo before selling will help no end
What is wrong with you?
Not using conditioner?
