Ireland will see an end to the current spell of sunshine today as clear skies become miserable as ‘torrential downpours’ spread across the country.
Met Eireann has predicted flash flooding in some places as thunderstorms and “intense lightning” develop into the evening. However, temperatures will remain high.
A forecaster said: “a warm night with another hot day ahead. Temperatures rising up to 30c again today, but thunderstorms are expected to develop this evening and tonight with a risk of torrential downpours and local flash flooding.”
