A thunderstorm weather warning has been issued as Ireland will experience temperatures as high as 24 degrees Celsius on Saturday.
While parts of the country were enjoying the sun, more unstable conditions were expected elsewhere, and Met Éireann issued the thunderstorm warning for Munster since Saturday afternoon.
The yellow thunder status warning is in effect until 10 p.m. Saturday, and groups of slow storms are expected across the province. Met Éireann said local lightning and downpours can be expected in the region during the period, with the risk of flooding.
See below for thunderstorm activity, mostly in Munster this afternoon. ⛈️
The rays, when they occur, are shown as a cross. Initially they are red but change to orange and then yellow after a period, then they disappear.
