Met Éireann issues rain warning for three counties this Bank Holiday Monday
Forecasters have issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Galway, Mayo and Kerry for Monday afternoon and evening.
Met Éireann are warning of 'heavy rain with very strong, gusty southerly winds near the coast.'
They have told the public to be aware of the risks of localised flooding, poor visibility and difficult travelling conditions.
The warning comes as June 1 marks the start of the meteorological summer, but Ireland seems to have not received the memo as the recent spell of unsettled weather continues.

Anyone heading to the Women's Mini Marathon, the penultimate day of Bloom or one of the many football championship games up and down the country should pack an umbrella and bring the good coat.

"So, it's the first day of meteorological summer, and unfortunately it isn't quite starting out as we hope the summer will go,' meteorologist Rebecca Cantwell said on Met Éireann's morning forecast.
"As we continue through the bank holiday weekend, our weather is set to remain fairly unsettled.'
Tonight will be mostly dry with long clear spells and lows of 5 to 9C.
Bank holiday Monday will see a dry start in the morning with some sun and just isolated showers. It will turn cloudier during the day however, with rain spreading across the country into the evening and turning heavy in some areas. Highest temperatures will range from 13 to 17C.
Met Éireann's outlook for the start of the coming week is no better, with more 'unsettled' weather on the way and rain expected each day.
Monday night will start off wet before the rain clears, leaving clear spells and some scattered showers, with lows of 6 to 10C.
Both Tuesday and Wednesday will see a mixture of sunny spells and showers. On Thursday, showers will spread from the northwest of the country and there may be a spell of rain in the south.
Beyond that, the current forecast shows the rest of next week will stay 'largely unsettled' with showers and spells of rain.

Met Éireann delivers its 'Leaving Cert weather' verdict
With the Leaving Cert getting underway this week, hopefully it's an indication for some sunny days ahead — exam time has become synonymous with good weather! Following on from a bout of beautiful weather last month, Ireland has been met with windier conditions, though temperatures have been in the mid-teens. A yellow rain warning comes into effect for Galway, Mayo and Kerry from 2pm on Monday until 10pm Monday night, with localised flooding and difficult travelling conditions potential impacts. With the Leaving Cert getting underway this week, hopefully it's an indication for some sunny days ahead — exam time has become synonymous with good weather! Pic: Leah Farrell/ While the Leaving Certificate gets going on Wednesday, it's not an immediate indication that the windy conditions will subside with Carlow Weather's Alan O'Reilly forecasting 'scattered showers and sunny spells' for the week ahead. He said: 'No great heat, temperatures only struggling to get about 15 or 16 degrees in some areas.' 'The weekend ahead, little bit uncertain yet. Friday could be wet enough; Saturday looks showery, Sunday does look a good day at the moment as high pressure does try to build up but I don't know if it's going to stay there. At the moment it looks like low pressure from the west could just know it back.' A nice start to Bank Holiday Monday but turning wet and windy this evening and a mixed week ahead with sunny spells and showers. Still some hope that high pressure will return around middle of the month but too far to be sure. — Carlow Weather (@CarlowWeather) June 2, 2025 Met Éireann are similarly forecasting unsettled conditions for the week with rain or showers every day and blustery conditions at times. Rain is set to develop on Monday afternoon and spread eastwards though the evening where it is expected to turn heavier with possible spot flooding. Tuesday will be breezy with a combination of sunshine and showers and temperatures between 12 and 16 degrees.

Met Éireann say Thursday will see outbreaks of rain clear the southeast coast through the afternoon but showers and sunny spells elsewhere. On Friday, they say it will be 'mostly cloudy with showers merging to longer spells of rain.' Met Éireann's extended forecast shows a 'much more settled picture' for next week as the exams enters its second week, with high pressure heading towards the south, so perhaps there will be some 'Leaving Cert weather' this season! 'Temperatures will likely be around or slightly above normal,' Met Éireann forecast, 'Much of the country will be drier than normal though there is the potential for above average amounts in the north, most likely from early in the week.'
