Hopes jet stream will 'restore summer'
Parts of NI have already been hit by recent severe floods and more could be on the way overnight, but it's hoped conditions could improve soon to give at least a semblance of summer.
Forecasters suggest there could be a ray of sunshine among the flood warnings.
Temps have tended to hold up in and around the late teens or early twenties - but dark clouds have rarely been too far away, with torrential rain having already caused the wettest June on record. July didn't exactly get off to a promising start either with some more heavy showers, although local rainfall amounts for the month so far are fairly close to average.
A yellow alert has been put in place for Northern Ireland, with the Met Office warning that localised flooding is possible during downpours expected between 7pm on Tuesday and 4pm on Wednesday.According to forecasters, "rain will become more persistent, with some very heavy bursts developing".
By the end of the week, conditions are set to turn drier and sunnier though.Experts believe the jet stream which had been settled further south than usual is making its way north again, restoring a "more usual summer pattern". Thought i would highlight the positive part and ignore the downpours
