"Weather models a little uncertain around the timing of rain returning Tuesday but latest show it is likely to hit South by Tuesday afternoon and over 10mm possible in 6 hours near South coast Tuesday afternoon and early evening," according to forecaster Alan O'Reilly.

Tuesday: It will become wet and breezy. Rain will spread across Munster, south Leinster and parts of south Connacht in the morning, before extending across the rest of the country during the afternoon. The rain will be heavy and thundery at times, so localised flooding is possible, particularly in the southwest. Highest temperatures of 9 to 14 degrees in a fresh to strong and gusty east to southeast wind.
