If you live in the south of the country, it’s advised that you get any post-weekend washing dried today as rain is set to batter certain counties overnight.

Met Eireann has made a major update to its Status Yellow rain warning, adding more counties and extending the hours during which it will take effect.

The counties of Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford and Wicklow have now joined Cork, Kerry and Waterford as part of the warning. The warning has also been extended by six hours, meaning it will now come into place at midnight on Monday night and last until 6pm on Tuesday evening.

Met Eireann has warned of “persistent rain, heavy at times” as localised flooding, difficult travelling conditions and poor visibility are all possible.

Bright or sunny spells and a few showers will develop elsewhere. This evening, cloud will increase in the southwest.
