Met Eireann issues rainfall warning for Limerick after weeks of drought

LIMERICK farmers will be jumping with joy as the county has been included in a status yellow rainfall warning.

Earlier in the day, Met Eireann's advice covered Leinster, Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal and Waterford.

However, this Friday afternoon it was updated to include Limerick, Connacht, Cork, and Tipperary.

Heavy rain in places may lead to rainfall accumulations of 25-40mm, they say.

The status yellow rainfall warning is from this Friday, July 2018 at 4pm to 6am on Saturday, July 28.
