For Tuesday's warning, the forecaster said: "Thunderstorms developing Tuesday afternoon may bring some disruption."

It added: "Although some places will miss them, thunderstorms are likely to develop over parts of Northern Ireland and northwestern Scotland from early Tuesday afternoon.

"These will be fairly slow moving with the potential for large rainfall amounts in a short period of time. 20-30 mm of rain may fall in an hour or less in a few spots with perhaps 40-50 mm possible if successive showers affect the same location.

"Frequent lightning is also likely to be a hazard along with hail."
