Weather warning issued for county Mayo

Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Mayo and Galway, with spells of heavy rain expected to bring difficult conditions on Thursday.

The warning, issued at 10.38 a.m. this morning, will be in effect from 12 noon to 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 30.

Forecasters say the heavy downpours could lead to localised flooding, poor visibility, and difficult travel conditions across the region.

Motorists are advised to exercise caution, particularly on secondary and rural routes, where surface water and reduced visibility could make driving hazardous.

The warning comes as unsettled weather continues to dominate the west, with further spells of rain expected over the weekend.

Met Éireann will continue to monitor conditions and issue updates as necessary.
