Met Eireann issues weather warning for four areas amid rain rampage as grim weekend forecast issued

Met Eireann have issued a status yellow weather warning for four counties in Ireland with 'heavy rain' expected all day tomorrow.

The rain warning is in place for Cork, Kerry, Galway and Mayo from 10am until 8pm on Thursday.

The national forecaster warned of the potential risk of "localised flooding" as well as "poor travelling conditions".

A spokesperson for Met Eireann said: "Heavy rain at times on Thursday may cause localised flooding. Rain accompanied by fresh to strong winds will lead to poor travelling conditions. Rainfall totals will be higher in mountainous regions."

Meanwhile, the weather is not looking good for the the rest of the week as Ireland is set for a few blustery days of rain and a washout weekend.

While temperatures remain high, widespread rain is on the way with the possibility of more thunder by the weekend.

According to Met Eireann, the weekend will see “scattered thundery showers” which are set to get worse as the days go on, turning “heavy” for Sunday with some spot flooding also predicted.
