Status Yellow rain warnings in place for 18 counties

Met Éireann has said the rain will bring a risk of localised flooding, difficult travelling conditions and poor visibility.

LAST UPDATE | 9 Jul 2024

THREE STATUS YELLOW rain warnings are in place for 18 counties.

Met Éireann has said the rain will become persistent and heavy at times, with the risk of localised flooding, difficult travelling conditions and poor visibility.

A Yellow warning is in effect for Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Tipperary and Waterford until 4pm this afternoon.

A second rain warning for Kildare, Laois, Offaly and Wicklow will remain in place until midnight. 

A third rain warning for Cavan, Monaghan, Dublin, Longford, Louth, Meath, Westmeath, Leitrim and Roscommon will be in effect until 4am tomorrow morning. 

Met Éireann said the rain in Munster and south Leinster will spread northwards and extend into Ulster, becoming heavy at times in parts of Leinster and Ulster.

The forecaster said western coastal counties will stay mainly dry, with highest temperatures of 13 to 18 degrees.

Rain will continue over Ulster, north Connacht and the northern half of Leinster tonight, but it will be drier further south with some clear spells developing in Munster.

It will be mostly cloudy over most of the northern half of the country tomorrow, with further outbreaks of rain and drizzle and with highest temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees.
