Gale force winds are expected later this week as stormy conditions head towards Ireland.
The miserable weather of recent days looks set to continue with further thunderstorms possible on Tuesday.
While gales and heavy rain are expected in places on Thursday as an unsettled spell of weather continues.
Tonight will see some showers, particularly in the south, before a further risk of thunderstorms tomorrow, particularly in Leinster.

Scattered showers will spread from the west overnight, mainly affecting Munster while elsewhere will hold largely dry.
