Met Eireann are forecasting a horrid week in Ireland with multiple warnings and weather advisories in place.
Weather chiefs have placed the entire country under yellow warning for Monday with torrential rain to pour in with the potential for flash floods.
The warning began at midnight and will remain in place until 7pm on Tuesday evening.
A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Persistent and occasionally heavy bands of rain will cross the country beginning on Sunday night through to Tuesday evening.
"While some areas will remain below warning levels, there is a risk of localized spot flooding with a heightened risk of flash flooding in mountainous regions where accumulations are expected to be highest.
"This warning will be reviewed and may be elevated in further updates to reflect the evolving situation."
A status yellow gale warning and small craft warning are also in place.
While a weather advisory for the entire week was issued at the weekend.
A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Conditions turning unsettled by the end of the weekend, with a spell of very wet and at times windy weather on Monday and Tuesday.
