Get the umbrellas - Spot flooding and heavy rain inbound as weather warning issued for two counties

Met Éireann has issued Status Yellow rain warnings for two counties in Munster, as heavy rain and flooding is expected.

Yellow weather warning have been issued for both Waterford and Cork, with the warning in effect from Sunday afternoon.

The warning for Cork comes into effect at 5pm tomorrow and will end at 11pm.

For Waterford, the warning is valid from 6pm tomorrow until 2am on Monday.

Heavy and persistent rain will lead to spot flooding, Met Éireann says in the warning, which was issued on Saturday afternoon.

Elsewhere, on Saturday, most areas will be dry from mid-afternoon with just well scattered showers following.

It will be generally dry and clear this evening, with Met Éireann saying things will feel "fresh"

Temperatures will hit a high of 13C on Saturday.

For the rest of the country, Sunday will begin largely dry with hazy sunny spells, according to the latest forecast.

However, cloud will gradually thicken with scattered outbreaks of rain and drizzle developing.

During the evening, persistent and heavy rain will affect southern counties with spot flooding.

Temperatures will reach highs of 7C to 10C in the northern half of the country, though slightly warmer in the south with highs of 14C.

A yellow weather warning is usually issued for weather that does not pose a threat to the general population but is potentially dangerous on a localised scale.

It is generally issued as a rain alert if between 30mm – 50mm in 24 hours is expected.

The forecaster is warning that heavy and persistent rain will lead to spot flooding.
