The rains are a' comin.

Met Eireann has issued a yellow rainfall warning as heavy thundery downpours are expected to arrive tonight.

The warning applies to all counties in Leinster, as well as Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal and Waterford.

The warning comes into effect at 9pm tonight and remains active until 9am tomorrow morning.

With up to 25-40mm of water are expected in some places, the National Forecaster has also warned of flash flooding in some areas due to the recent drought conditions.

Hosepipe ban

Meanwhile, Irish water is meeting this morning to discuss the potential extension of the hosepipe ban.

It was due to finish on July 31, but with water supplies still, at critically low levels, there is a chance it could continue for the foreseeable future.
