Get the brollies out lads.

Monday mornings and weather warnings. Not a great combo…

But sadly, that is what we’re dealing with.

A status yellow weather warning has been issued for 14 counties in Ireland.

The counties affected are all of Munster, Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Wexford, Wicklow, Offaly and Galway.

Issued on Sunday morning, the warning will be valid from 2am on Monday until midnight on the same day.

Met Éireann has said to expect heavy, possibly thundery, rain at times overnight and during Monday with accumulations of 25 to 40mm in places.

As well as that, there is a chance that localised flooding may occur.

Across the country on Monday, showers or longer spells of rain will affect most parts of the country through the day, with some heavy falls and the risk of thunderstorms.

Highest temperatures will range between 17 and 21 degrees, with light easterly or variable breezes.

Met Éireann has said that showers or longer spells of rain, mainly in Connacht and Leinster, will occur during Tuesday morning, and will push northeastwards through the afternoon.

What a beautiful start to the week…
