Ireland looks set to be battered with some horrid conditions over the weekend as warm sunny spells come to an abrupt end.
Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow Rain and Thunderstorm warning for Munster and Connacht as heavy showers or longer spells of rain with thundery downpours occur in some places and may lead to spot flooding, with the highest rainfall totals likely to be near the west coast on high ground.
The warning will remain in place from 6pm Friday until 6pm Saturday.
