In the North, the UK Met Office has also issued a yellow rain warning covering the six counties for all of Monday.
Earlier, an orange rain alert was in place for Wicklow, Wexford and Waterford, with the forecaster warning of heavy, thundery downpours which would bring a risk of flooding to some areas.
The entire country was due to remain under a yellow rain warning until 8pm on Monday, however, that advisory was altered as part Met Éireann's updated alert.
