After the mini heatwave gave Northern Ireland a short glimpse of the summer, the country is set to experience a period of wet and stormy weather.
An amber weather warning for thunderstorms was issued by the Met Office across parts of the country on Sunday evening and unfortunately, the bad weather is set to stay for another few days as a yellow weather warning remains in place across NI on Monday.
The Met Office said: "While some places stay dry, areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms will continue during Monday, bringing possible disruption."
