A Met Office spokesperson commented:


"Some thunderstorms are likely to develop later this afternoon and early evening across Northern Ireland. Many places will miss the worst of these, but where they do occur, heavy rain, frequent lightning and some hail is possible.


"A few places could see 20-30 mm of rain in 1 hour with a small chance of 40-60 mm in 2-3 hours."
