A STATUS YELLOW rain warning remains in place for the rest of the evening, with heavy rainfall already being recorded in some parts of the country. 

Dublin Fire Brigade was among those to note that the wet weather may dampen bonfires around the country with Met Éireann stating that rain will clear into the Irish Sea in the early hours of the morning.
