Brighter weather is forecast for Tuesday morning, after heavy rainfalls disrupted Halloween celebrations across the country on Monday evening.
A status yellow weather warning was in place across the country until midnight, following on from a more severe status orange warning in Cork, Tipperary, Waterford and Kilkenny from midday until 5pm.
Tuesday morning promises to be breezy with a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers. However, these showers will become widespread during afternoon and evening, according to Met Éireann. Some of the showers will be heavy and prolonged, with a possibility of hail and thunder.
Rain will spread across the western half of the country later tonight, and it will turn very windy nationwide by dawn on Wednesday with gales at the coast. A chilly night is forecast with lowest temperatures of 3 to 6 degrees.
