Orange thunderstorm warning issued nationwide from this afternoon

A status orange thunderstorm warning has been issued for the entire country.

It’s an upgrade from the previous yellow warning – with heavy showers of rain combining with high temperatures.

The orange warning begins at 3pm for the country, and ends at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning here.

Met Eireann’s Andrew Doran Sherlock says the thunderstorms will be very localised – so not everywhere will get hit:
