'Torrential downpours' on the way as Met Éireann issues weather advisory and warns of flood risk

The Irish meteorological service, Met Éireann, has issued a weather advisory for widespread heavy rain and potential localised flooding over the weekend, effective from 3am on Sunday to 3am on Monday. The forecast includes torrential downpours, thunderstorms, and gusty winds, particularly affecting areas in the southwest. This follows recent flooding incidents in Kerry and Dublin earlier in the week. The rain is expected to impact events such as the Electric Picnic festival in County Laois, which will experience continuous rain throughout the day. While some regions may see brief sunny periods, the overall outlook remains wet with temperatures ranging between 10°C and 21°C.
