Bring your raincoat, as thundery downpours are on the way

The weather has been frustratingly changeable lately, and it looks like today is set to be no exception. 

Met Éireann is reporting that while today will be off to a bright and blustery start, the grey clouds are set to move in through the afternoon, bringing a risk of thundery downpours with them. 

'It will be generally dry with good sunshine in many parts of the country this morning.'

'However showers will gradually develop in the west and will slowly spread eastwards.'

'Some heavy thundery downpours are likely this afternoon.'

However, there is some good news on the horizon.

'The last of the showers will die away later this evening and most of the night will be dry and clear.'

So hopefully if you're heading out tonight, you won't get drenched.
