Summer sunshine in the centre of Belfast on Friday at lunchtime but Saturday will sun but also rain
A scene of people enjoying the summery early August weather in the grounds of Belfast City Hall at lunchtime on Friday.
The weather in Northern Ireland was changeable over the course of the day as it has been for most of the summer.
Last weekend the downpours were so heavy that there were long downpours on Saturday and shorter but more intense bursts on Sunday with flash flooding in places.
