Yellow weather warning cancelled for most in NI apart from Co Down area

The Met Office has updated their yellow weather warning for heavy rain today in Northern Ireland.

It was originally in place for most across Northern Ireland, however it looks like the south east of Co Down will be affected most - Saintfield, Ballynahinch, Crossgar, Downpatrick, Newcastle and Kilkeel.

A yellow weather warning is in place there until 9pm this evening (Monday 13th May).

This follows a weekend of blue skies and sunshine, which led to a yellow weather for thunder yesterday afternoon.
