Weather alert extended with ‘intense and thundery’ downpours forecast
Expect some flooding.
That’s the advice from Ireland’s leading weather forecasters today as they extend yesterday’s Status Yellow rainfall warning for Munster and Leinster until Friday morning at 6am.
Met Éireann said ‘intense and potentially thundery downpours during Thursday and Thursday night’ may lead to localised flooding.
“Given recent heavy rainfall, this will further elevate river levels and may result in river flooding also.” added forecasters.

It will be mostly cloudy today, with showers and longer spells of heavy rain, but it’s not all doom and gloom; some bright or sunny intervals will develop at times too, with highest temperatures of between 16 and 19 degrees.
