A Status Yellow rain and thunderstorm warning has been issued for the entire country, with a risk of lightning and rain for Dublin.
The warning is in place from 7pm until 3am tomorrow. According to Met Eireann, heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms will spread northwards with lightning and spot flooding in places.
Yellow level alerts indicate weather conditions that do not pose an immediate threat to the general population, but only to those exposed to risk by nature of their location and/or activity. It comes after Electric Picnic festival-goers were warned that they were in for a "rough night" with thunderstorms throughout the night.
