Advertisements

High temperatures across Northern Ireland on Wednesday are expected to lead to some thundery downpours overnight.

A Met Office weather warning for thunderstorms has been issued from midnight on Wednesday until 22:00 BST on Thursday.

The alert comes as a third heatwave takes hold with temperatures in the mid-to-high twenties for some on Wednesday.

Tuesday saw temperatures climb to 28C in Armagh – that’s around 10C above average for the time of year.

While most places are expected to avoid thunderstorms altogether, where they do occur there could be some disruption.

A few spots could see between 20-40mm of rain in less than an hour, with the additional hazard of hail and lightning.

Thursday is expected to see temperatures drop by a few degrees, to around 19C on the coast and 22C inland.

Those temperatures will nudge a degree or two higher before climbing again to around the mid-twenties on Saturday and Sunday.

In the Republic of Ireland a warning for thunder has been issued across Kerry, Clare, and Limerick on Wednesday.

The alert lasts from 15:00 (local time) until 21:00 with a risk of flooding, travel disruption, and lightning damage.
