Starting from Tuesday’s dawn, a warning for persistent, intense rainfall has been declared for a total of 18 counties for a duration of 24 hours. The ‘yellow’ advisory warning will come into play from Tuesday 4 AM and concludes by Wednesday 4 AM, according to the projections by Met Éireann.
There may be instances of weighty rainfall leading to issues such as visibility degradation, travel impediments, and regional floods, as per the forecast. Places such as Leitrim, Leinster, Cavan, Roscommon, Tipperary, Waterford and Monaghan will be put on yellow alert for rainfall.
The south-east, north-east and east portions of the region are likely to experience the longest spans of rainfall throughout Tuesday. Conversely, the western and south-western parts are expected to enjoy drier weather, especially as the day progresses, with patches of sunshine, Met Éireann elaborated.
Rainfall on Tuesday night is likely to be dominant in Ulster and Leinster, gradually diminishing to largely Ulster regions overnight. Southern and western sectors can expect generally drier conditions with some clear spells. A varied weather pattern of sunshine, cloud cover and intermittent showers is predicted for Wednesday, with Munster and Connacht experiencing the most sunny spells.
The wet weather might stay persistent until Friday. However, Friday is projected to be chiefly dry with mercury levels likely to see a peak between 15 and 20 degrees.
