Thunderstorm Warning Issued for Cavan and Monaghan

Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow thunderstorm warning for counties Cavan and Monaghan today.

The alert is valid until 4.00pm as isolated thunderstorms move eastwards across the region.

Residents are advised to be prepared for potential impacts including lightning damage and spot flooding in some areas.

While the thunderstorms are expected to be isolated, the weather could cause local disruptions.

Thursday will be largely dry in the south and southeast, with scattered showers elsewhere, some of which may be heavy. There is a risk of thunderstorms by evening in east Ulster.

Although scattered showers and occasional rain will affect the west and north, southern and eastern areas will see more settled and warmer conditions over the next ten days.

Temperatures are forecast to rise gradually next week as high pressure builds over southern regions, leading to sunnier and more stable weather.

In contrast, the west and northwest will continue to experience more unsettled conditions with intermittent rain or showers.
