Photo: CollinsForecasters have issued a thunderstorm warning for four counties, as Ireland braces itself for more rain this weekend. And, despite the rain forecast for the weekend, temperatures will stay mild and warmer than average. Met Éireann meteorologist Ailis Hankinson said there will not be much respite from rain in the coming days. "Our weather is set to stay unsettled for the next little while with more rain, showers and blustery conditions to come,” she said. On Saturday night, rain will clear southeastwards early on, but will linger in the south and east, while the north and west stay clear and might see isolated showers.
