Although cloudy, Met Eireann is predicting temperatures to reach around the 25C mark with North Leinster and Ulster most likely to be hit by the thunder.
A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Outbreaks of rain will continue to spread northeast over Munster this afternoon, elsewhere, sunny spells with the risk of an Isolated heavy shower or thunderstorm in north Leinster and Ulster.
"Warm and humid in northeastern counties with highs of 20 to 24 degrees but turning much fresher further south and west with highs of 15 to 19 degrees in mostly moderate southerly winds.
"Showery rain will continue in most areas tonight with some heavy and possibly thundery bursts. Lowest overnight temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees. Some mist and fog patches will form in light variable breezes, increasing moderate to fresh westerly in the southwest by morning."
Saturday looks like a very wet day nationwide with prolonged showers.
The forecaster added: "Frequent showers tomorrow, merging into longer spells of rain at times, with some heavy bursts, especially in parts of Connacht and western Ulster.
"Winds mostly moderate to fresh westerlies but increasing strong at times along coasts. Highest temperatures between 13 and 16 degrees."
