Met Eireann have issued a status yellow weather warning for three counties as a “wet and windy” Sunday awaits for Ireland.
Galway, Mayo and Kerry can expect spells of heavy rain leading to localised flooding, poor visibility and hazardous travelling conditions. The warning is active for all 24 hours of Sunday – kicking in at 12am, and ending at 12am Monday.
And one weather boffin has said that “Sunday is looking very wet and windy” for the country. Weather Alerts Ireland said: “Over 50mm in 24 hours for the south west on higher ground, lower ground expected to see in excess of 30mm.
“It will be windy also with gusts exceeding 100km/h in coastal areas while inland will see gusts exceeding 80km/h.” Today has started off sunny in Dublin, but showery outbreaks of rain are set to roll in across the afternoon.
Temperatures will get up to around 9C. Tonight will be wet, breezy, and misty, with lows of 2C.
And here is what Met Eireann’s forecast says for Sunday, and the start of next week:
