A Status Yellow rainfall warning has been issued for Clare

Get the umbrellas out.

A Status Yellow rainfall warning has been issued for the entirety of County Clare. Issued on Sunday afternoon, the warning will be in place from 5am on Monday until the same time on Tuesday morning. Met Éireann also said that rainfall accumulations combined with high river levels may result in further flooding. It is expected that Monday will be wet and windy across the whole country, with rain along west and southwest coasts in the early morning becoming widespread during the day. The rain will be heavy in places, with a risk of flooding, especially in parts of Munster, Connacht and west Ulster. Tuesday is also expected to be wet and windy in many areas at first, with rain and fresh and gusty southwesterly winds. A bleak start to the week, you'd have to say. Across the country, next week will see changeable and unsettled weather, getting cold as the week goes on, with the possibility of wintry precipitation.
