It's effective until tomorrow afternoon.

We hate to be the bearer of bad news on a Monday, but there's a weather warning in place for Ireland.

A status yellow rainfall warning is in effect for Munster and Connacht, as well as Donegal, Cavan, Monaghan and Northern Ireland.

Met Eireann is warning of very heavy rain at times with the chance of flooding in parts. The alerts will run until tomorrow at 3pm.

Here's how the rest of this week's weather is looking:

Monday

Blustery today with outbreaks of rain. Some of those will be heavy with a risk of local flooding, especially in the southwest, west and northwest. Highs of 15 degrees. Monday night will be wet and showery with the odd clear spell. It'll be windy in southern coastal counties with lows of 10 degrees.

Tuesday

Tuesday will be windy and showery across the country. Some drier spells at times, especially across the northern half of Ireland in the morning. However, there'll be further heavy downpours in the afternoon with isolated thunderstorms and a risk of local flooding. Highs of 14 degrees with strong winds. Tuesday night will be drier but showery outbreaks of rain will continue in parts of the west and north. Lows of degrees.

Wednesday

Quite a mixed day on Wednesday with scattered showers in western areas. The best of the sunshine will be in the midlands with top temperatures of 14 degrees. There'll be a few showers that night but a lot of dry weather too with clear spells. Lows of 1 degree with frost possible in parts.

Thursday

Thursday's set to be the best this week. It's predicted to be a mostly dry day with good spells of sunshine and just a few showers. Highs of 13 degrees. Thursday night will start mostly dry across the country but a band of rain will push in from the Atlantic towards midnight, spreading eastwards overnight. Lows of 6 degrees.

Friday

Rain showers will clear into the Irish Sea early in the morning to give a bright day on Friday with sunny spells and scattered showers. Chilly though with highs of just 11 degrees.
