Thundery showers forecast for All-Ireland final as fans warned to prepare for wet weekend

If you're heading to Croke Park this weekend for the All-Ireland hurling final, you'd better bring plenty of waterproof gear.

Contrary to the sweltering conditions experienced by the Kerry and Tyrone players during last weekend's football semi-final, Sunday is expected to bring thundery showers and long spells of rain to the 80,000 fans hoping to see Cork or Tipperary lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup.
