Met Eireann has issued a weather warning as Ireland braces itself for thunderstorms.
A Status Yellow alert for thunderstorms will be in place for the whole country from 3pm on Sunday to 3am on Monday. A forecaster said: "While some places will stay dry, hit and miss thunderstorm activity along with hail and heavy downpours may lead to spot flooding and hazardous driving conditions."
A yellow high-temperature warning is also in place until 6am on Monday as temperatures could reach higher than 30 degrees across the country. The forecast for today says it will be a hot and sunny day but cloud will bubble up later this afternoon and evening bringing a few showers, some of these possibly heavy and thundery particularly around the midlands with some hail possible also.
