Croke Park weather forecast: Met Eireann warns of thunder on All-Ireland hurling final day

The weather forecast is not looking good for hurling fans as there is a risk of "thundery downpours" hitting parts of Ireland this weekend.

Met Eireann is forecasting a "blustery and showery day" on Sunday, as Tipperary and Kilkenny go toe-to-toe in the All-Ireland hurling final.

Despite the risk of thunder showers in the morning, sunny spells are expected at times. Temperatures will range from 16C to 18C.

A forecaster said: "Sunday will be another blustery and showery day with good sunny spells.

"However, showers will become heavy and widespread during the morning, with the odd thundery downpour.

"It will be another cool day with top temperatures of just 16C to 18C in moderate to fresh west to southwest winds."

Fans heading out Sunday night will be in for a chilly summer's night, with temperatures as low as 9C expected.

The forecaster added: "During Sunday night showers will become isolated and later confined to Atlantic coastal counties.

"Lowest temperatures will fall to around 9C to 12C in mostly moderate westerly breezes."
