Met Éireann has issued Status Yellow weather warnings for rain and wind that will cover most of the country from tomorrow afternoon (Friday, August 4) to Saturday (August 5).

Two weather warnings have been issued for rain, while one has been issued for wind.

The earlier of the two warnings for rain will come into effect from 2:00p.m tomorrow and remain in place until 9:00a.m Saturday morning.

It applies to all counties in Connacht, as well as Co. Cavan.

These regions will see spells of heavy rain during the course of the morning, with the possibility of spot flooding, poor visibility, and difficult driving conditions.

The second warning will come into effect from 6:00p.m tomorrow evening, and will remain in pace until 1:00p.m Saturday afternoon.

This warning will cover the following counties:

Dublin;
Kildare;

These counties will experience spells of heavy rain from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon.

Again, spot flooding, poor visibility, and difficult driving conditions are all possibilities.

The weather warning for wind, meanwhile, will come into effect from 1:00a.m Saturday morning, and will remain in place until 12:00p.m Saturday afternoon.

Counties Cork, Kerry and Waterford will be the affected areas.
