Mixed weather on the way for Kildare as chance of thunder showers to come along with sunshine

It's set to be a very unsettled day across Kildare, and there is even some chance of thunder at times, but the east of the country is likely to receive the best of the weather.

Very windy today, with occasional showers, some heavy and prolonged, with a risk of thunder, especially in Connacht and Ulster during the morning and early afternoon. Bright or sunny spells also, especially in the east and south. Maximum temperatures 9-12 degrees, in fresh to strong and gusty westerly winds.

Windy tonight, with further showers, but clear spells also. Minimum temperatures 4-8 degrees, in fresh to strong westerly winds, easing in the north and in other parts later, veering northwesterly.
