A Status Yellow thunderstorm warning is in place for most of the country
It's time to take the washing in from the clothesline because the recent days of stunning sunshine look to be coming to an abrupt end.
Only three counties - Donegal, Sligo and Mayo - have escaped the weather warning at the time of writing. Delivering the weather warnings, a Met Eireann spokesperson said of Sunday that people should expect "localised thunderstorms/slow-moving heavy downpours giving frequent lightning and surface water-flooding."
Meanwhile, the second warning doesn't come into place until midday and that is for the counties of Cavan, Monaghan, Clare, Galway, Leitrim, Roscommon, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly and Westmeath. This too will expire at midnight tonight.
