Thunderstorm warning

Be careful out there…

The first stretches of September continue to bless us with autumnal conditions, dear reader.

And so it is no major shock to learn of a couple of brand new weather warnings from the dedicated team that makes up Met Éireann.

A thunderstorm warning – Status Yellow – has been issued for four counties; Leitrim, Cavan, Sligo and Donegal.

Thunderstorm activity in these regions will lead to “occasional” lightning strikes, with heavy showers possible.

The warning is valid until 7pm on Wednesday, so just a short enough one, then.

Meanwhile, a Status Yellow warning remains in operation for Cork, with heavy showers and thunderstorms also advertised down south. Spot flooding, too, is a possibility.

This warning will stay valid until 8pm on Wednesday evening.
