Thunderstorm warning in place for three counties as warm weather and rain expected this week

The warning is currently in place for Clare, Galway and Mayo until 9pm.

LAST UPDATE | 14 May

 A STATUS YELLOW thunderstorm storm warning has been issued for three counties. 

The warning is currently in place for Clare, Galway and Mayo until 9pm. 

Met Éireann has warned there may be hazardous travelling conditions and localised flooding.

After a very warm and summery weekend, Ireland was hit with rain showers on and off yesterday. 

Tonight is to be drier, with temperatures dropping to between 7 and 11 degrees. 

Tomorrow is to be warmer, with temperatures reaching in and around 20 degrees. Most of the north and northeast will remain dry, while the rest of the country will have some rain showers. 

Thursday will see temperatures go as high as 21 degrees, with light and heavy rain showers in parts.

Friday will see temperatures reaching 18 degrees, while Saturday is to be warmer still with highest temperatures between 16 and 20 degrees, but it will rain in showers once again. 

The end of the weekend could be drier, as could the start of next week, according to Met Éireann.
