Irish weather forecast: Met Eireann issues Status Yellow rainfall warning for 10 counties

Large parts of Ireland will be lashed by rain on Monday as two rainfall warnings have been issued.

Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow weather alert for 10 counties across Leinster and Munster.

The national forecaster has warned of a risk of flooding as up to 35mm of rain is expected to fall.

The caution is valid in Cork and Kerry between 3am and 4pm on Monday.

And a rainfall warning will also be in place for Dublin, Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Tipperary and Waterford between 9am and 8pm.

A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Tomorrow morning will be mainly dry across the northern half of the country, with mist and fog patches clearing.

"Rain will extend gradually northwards across Munster and south Leinster during the morning, extending further north during the afternoon, with some heavy falls in parts of Munster and Leinster and a risk of spot flooding.

"However, parts of Ulster will remain dry until the evening or early night. Maximum temperatures 13 to 17 degrees, with highest values in the south.

"Winds will be mostly light to moderate easterly, but fresh to strong along western and southern coasts. Winds veer southwesterly in Munster later, as the rain clears there."
