Yellow rain warning for eastern counties tonight means Hozier fans will need their raincoats

The warning will run from 8pm this evening until 6am tomorrow morning.

A YELLOW WEATHER warning has been issued for some eastern counties this evening, while rain is expected across much of the rest of the country too.

Dublin, Louth, Meath and Wicklow could be affected by spot flooding, thunderstorms and difficult travel conditions. The yellow rain warning is in place from 8pm until 6am tomorrow morning.

Fans heading to the All-Ireland Hurling Championship semi-finals this weekend and to some of the big gigs that are happening will need to pack their coats.

Met Éireann has forecast a weekend of sunny spells and showers, with temperatures cooler than usual for the time of year. Showers could be heavy and thundery in some areas.

On Saturday, Kilkenny take on Clare in Croke Park, with Limerick playing Cork on Sunday.

Hozier will play Marlay Park in south Dublin tonight, while Kings of Leon will take to the same stage tomorrow night. 

The week-long Dún Laoghaire Fest 2024 also gets underway this weekend.

    Nothing special on Repeat Media TV for the winter so. Maybe we get a few nee episodes of The Chase as well?

    “International Dramas”

    Also known as the police procedurals from England that ITV shown about 2 years ago and that vast majority of people have actually already seen.

    VMTV really makes RTÉ look professional, and that’s saying something.
    Wonder when the new VMTV channel will start airing Ireland AM and the Chase repeats too.

    @Darren Anthony Corr: they already started with repeats of the chase believe it or not! Such lazy scheduling. They have load of old shoes they could easily repeat if they don’t want to pay for new. content

    @Luke Ronan:
    The thing is, VMTV could actually be a decent channel if they actually bothered to be better than RTÉ rather than just competing with them, and do their own terrible versions of RTEs already terrible programming.
    There also isn’t any need for like 4 VMTV channels, 1 is clearly enough. The other 3 are just zombie channels on life support, mainly because they bought them off other companies to eliminate the competition but then didn’t actually have any plans for them.
    But the main VMTV just tries to emulate RTÉ shows in ridiculous ways, like having the news at 5:30 rather than RTEs 6-1, or their own version of the Late Late Toy Show.
    They should be trying to outshine RTÉ and it really wouldn’t be difficult to do, but VMTV is ridiculously lazy.
