Can someone tell the weather its actually summer?
Two wind warnings, a rainfall warning and multiple marine warnings, including a storm force alert, are all in place today.
Up to 50 millimetres of rain is expected to fall in parts of the country today.
Met Eireann says gusts of up to 110 km per hour are also likely.

3 status yellow weather alerts came into effect at midnight last night for Clare, Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Wexford, Galway and Mayo.
And there is no sign of any let-up in the poor conditions with more wind and rain over the weekend.
The forecaster added: "Low pressure will be the dominant feature to end this week and over the weekend, keeping our weather unsettled.
"A wet and windy Thursday will give way to showery conditions for Friday and Saturday before further rain crosses the country Saturday night."
