It comes as Tipperary has seen an extensive amount of downpours over the last week with the most recent weather warning being only yesterday (Sunday). A yellow thunderstorm warning was in place for Munster and Connacht and Cavan, Donegal, Monaghan, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Offaly, and Westmeath but ended at 10 pm last night.
Tipperary also got warnings last Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday.
However, the premier county wasn't the only county to be hit with bad weather over the past week as warnings have been in place for most of the country.
Kerry got badly hit over the weekend as flash flooding caused a Dunnes Stores supermarket to close reportedly due to its roof partially collapsing and on Saturday a house caught fire in Clare after it was struck by lightning.
According to Carlow Weather, it's not all bad news as much warmer weather looks to be coming for the weekend.
A mixed few days ahead with scattered showers and sunny spells. Some heavy showers possible but less risk of thunderstorms compared to the last few days. Temperatures up to low twenties. Very uncertain after Friday but still a risk of much warmer weather coming for weekend. pic.twitter.com/EPdTsD6t1s
