Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon has revealed there is a “mixture of weather on the way for Northern Ireland this week, with a westerly influence bringing periods of showers, sunny spells and even a chance of a touch of snow over high ground”.

Yellow warnings for wind and rain have been issued for Sunday, with weather conditions expected to improve slightly from Monday, the forecaster said.

The wet and windy conditions began to arrive in the early hours of Sunday morning, with two yellow weather warnings for wind in place for parts of the UK.
