Weather: Another warm day in Northern Ireland but which location recorded the highest temperature?

It has been another warm day in Northern Ireland as the province basked in the sizzling sunshine.

You would have been forgiven for working outside, walking the beach, sticking on the BBQ, or even enjoying an ice-cold pint at your favourite hot spot.

The second day of the Balmoral Show also proved to be popular as attendees enjoyed the sunshine.

But what were top five temperatures recorded in the province?
