Brace yourself! Met Éireann issue Status Orange Thunder Warning

by

At 9am this morning, Met Éireann issued a Status Orange Thunder Warning to the good people of Ireland ahead of some problematic weather conditions.

And what is a Status Orange Thunder Warning, pray tell?

Well, it means that the weather has the 'capacity to impact significantly on people', with the public set to experience 'widespread thundery activity this afternoon and evening'.

The forecaster's official website explains that "widespread heavy thundery downpours will develop by afternoon, with the risk localised spot flooding" today.

Tonight, we can expect heavy rain with thundery bursts, however these conditions will clear before midnight and give way to cooler, clearer weather.

Anyone else wondering why summer never made an appearance this year?!
