ALL GOOD things must come to an end they say.
And after days of warm weather and soaring temperatures, Limerick may finally see some rain and thunder this Sunday.
Met Eireann has issued a status yellow thunderstorm warning for Limerick, alongside Clare, Cork and Kerry.
People are warned to expect localised thunderstorms and slow-moving heavy downpours giving frequent lightning and surface water-flooding.
The caution from the forecaster is in place from 6pm this Sunday until midnight the same day.

Tomorrow Thunderstorms⛈️ will affect most of the country.
Warning timings will vary, please see the warnings section of https://t.co/e0QpncNkig for details for your area. pic.twitter.com/sDjqHCyrWD
The warning is in place for much of the country, with Met Eireann's assessment also applying to Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Wexford, Wicklow and Waterford.
A 12-hour thunder warning is also in place - from noon on Sunday to midnight -for Cavan, Monaghan, Galway, Leitrim, Roscommon, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly and Westmeath.
It means the majority of Ireland is covered by some form of yellow thunderstorm warning on Sunday.
