Met Eireann issue 24-hour weather warning for just two counties as horrible change set for Ireland

A status yellow weather warning has been issued for Cork and Kerry with heavy rain set to batter the Munster counties.

The unfortunate bank holiday weather alert from Met Eireann starts at 4pm on Saturday and will be in place until the same time Sunday.

The forecaster said: "Spells of heavy rain for Kerry and west Cork from Saturday afternoon through to Sunday afternoon with localised flooding possible."

No other counties have been included in the warnings but won't completely avoid the heavy rain.

The forecaster added: "Mist and fog will clear early on Saturday to give a mostly dry start with sunny spells, though patchy drizzle will affect southern counties. During the afternoon, thickening cloud along with outbreaks of rain will gradually move in across the western half of Ireland, turning heavy in the evening and early night, especially in the southwest. Much of the east and northeast will likely stay dry with sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees generally in moderate to fresh southerly winds."
