Definitely bring a brolly with you.

A status yellow rainfall warning has been issued for five counties which leaves us wondering, is it really May? The warning is in place for Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo. Met Éireann said: "For the rest of Wednesday and all of Thursday, persistent and occasionally heavy rain at times with a risk of localised flooding. Amounts will be highest in coastal areas and on hills and mountains."
