Met Eireann has issued a new weather warning for thunderstorms this evening.
Thunder can already be heard in certain parts of Dublin and according to the national forecaster, there are chances of it developing into a full-blown thunderstorm later this evening.
However, the alert is only valid until 7pm which means that any possible thunderstorms should have ended by then.
Leinster was not the only county where the weather has taken a turn for the worse since yesterday's scorching heat. There is a Status Yellow weather alert for Cavan, Monaghan, Cork, Tipperary and Waterford as well.
