It looks like the dry spell in Ireland is coming to an end, as Met Eireann is forecasting thunderstorms and spot flooding this weekend.
While we'll miss the sunshine, it's important to stay safe during these weather conditions. Don't forget to bring a brolly or a raincoat with you when you're heading out.
Some areas might face the risk of spot flooding, the national forecaster has warned. It will still be warm but marginally cooler compared to the last few days.
Today will start off with some hazy sunshine but it will turn cloudier with showery outbreaks of rain in the afternoon. Some of these showers will be heavy with possible isolated thunderstorms. Temperatures will be around 19 to 23 degrees.

Tomorrow will see good sunny spells but there will be a chance of showers and possibly thunderstorms. The highest temperatures will be around 20 to 23 degrees.
