Nationwide thunder warning issued by Met Éireann
Met Éireann has put all counties in Ireland on alert for thunderstorms that will feature severe downpours, hail and could lead to flooding.
The forecaster has issued a Status Yellow - thunder warning for Ireland, North and South.
It says heavy thunderstorms are expected to develop later on Thursday and Thursday night with some severe downpours, hail and spot flooding. However, it also advises that due to the localised nature of thunderstorms some parts of the country will remain dry.
The warning was issued at lunchtime on Wednesday and is valid from 4pm on Thursday to 9am on Friday. It was issued at 1pm on Wednesday, June 24.
The alert for the 32 counties was issued in conjunction with Met Éireann's official partner the Met Office in the UK.
Status Yellow Thunderstorm warning has been issued for the whole of Ireland for Thursday afternoon through to Friday morning.
