Sunshades and brollies for Co Kildare today!

Alas, the glorious weather was never going to last....

Temperatures across Co Kildare this morning will reach 15 degrees with an expected high of 22 later today.

However, as the great John Wayne was told in the making of 'The Quiet Man", when the sun shines in Ireland, "There's nothin' surer but there's rain to follow....."

Thunderstorms are expected later today and throughout the night and early tomorrow morning.

In between, don't forget our Celtic skin needs constant protection from the sun - even between showers, with over 100 deaths in Ireland recorded annually owing to sun cancer.

So, sun factor, sun shades and brollies needed today.
