MET ÉIREANN HAS issued status yellow weather warnings for the south of the country, with heavy wind and rain expected today and tomorrow.
A yellow wind warning is also in place for counties Wexford, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Waterford until 6pm today.
Met Éireann said a deep Atlantic depression is approaching from the southwest and will generate unseasonably strong winds, affecting southern counties with squalls of 80 or 90kmh and heavy thundery rain possible.
A status yellow rainfall warning is also in place for much of Saturday in Co Clare and Co Kerry – where a total of 30-50mm of rain is predicted to fall amid.
Widespread heavy showers are expected for most of Saturday across much of the country with a risk of thunder and spot flooding. Highest temperatures of 16-18 degrees.
Good sunshine
Showers will continue into tonight but will become lighter and well scattered overnight.
Temperatures overnight will be around 11-14 degrees.
Many areas in the north of the country will be dry on Sunday morning but rain is expected to spread from Munster by early afternoon, with temperatures of 16-19 degrees.
The sun will make a welcome return on Monday with good sunshine in many places in the afternoon, although light breezes and one or two showers are still forecast.
Met Éireann has also issued a potato blight warning which is expected to last until 7pm on Thursday.
