Met Office issue weather warning as week ahead looks like a washout

The Met Office have issued a yellow weather warning for Northern Ireland at the start of the week as the wet weather looks set to continue.

While we have gotten used to basking in the sunshine in recent weeks, it is time to dig the waterproofs back out as it looks like the rain is here to stay for another few days at least.

Monday looks set to be a bright day with sunny spells and few passing showers. Some of these could be heavy with thunder and we could see a maximum temperature 23 °C.

The yellow thunderstorm warning comes into place at 1pm on Monday, June 19, and will remain in place until 8pm on the same day.

The forecaster said: "Heavy showers and thunderstorms perhaps causing some localised flooding and disruption."

Temperatures look set to be mild for the morning commute with highs of 15 or 16 °C across Northern Ireland and it looks set to remain warm into the evening with overnight temperatures sitting around 15 °C.

Tuesday looks set to get off to a relatively dry start with a band of rain moving in from the east around lunchtime. Again, these showers are likely to be heavy at times and could bring pockets of thunder.

The rain remains with us into the evening and overnight into Wednesday.

Thursday looks set to be a dry day but cloudy day with highs of around 20 °C and the potential to feel even warmer.

The pollen count looks set to be high through to Thursday when it will rise to very high levels which is bad news for hay fever sufferers.

UV levels will also remain high throughout the week.
