Irish warning issued
Heavy rain builds through the day

Weather radar map at 12:00 on 08.10 showing widespread heavy rain across Ireland, with blue precipitation bands and a rain warning symbol by Donegal.

Cloud and rain build from the west through Thursday, prompting a weather warning in Ireland as it moves through.

A yellow rain warning has been issued for Donegal, where today's rain is expected to be the heaviest across Ireland. This comes into effect from 04:00 pm and runs until 04:00 am Friday morning.

Up to 35 mm of rainfall could accumulate in the county by Friday morning as the front moves into the UK.

While there are no warnings live for the UK, accumulations could reach up to 60 mm in areas at higher altitudes such as the Lake District and Snowdonia (around 40 mm).

The area around Exmoor can also expect up to 30 mm by Friday morning, leading to possible surface flooding.

As the rain moves through, winds also grow with gusts reaching up to 40 mph (65 km/h) around Galway, Dublin, and Belfast in the evening.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
