As far as we’re aware, the centre of Northern Ireland is not often home to examples of extreme weather phenomena, but if you happened to be passing Lough Neagh this evening, you’d have been forgiven for thinking that it was tornado season north of the border.
That may be exaggerating things just a tad, but you’d still struggle not to be taken aback by the sight of some of the funnel clouds spotted this evening in the skies over Lough Neagh, the biggest lake in the British Isles.

The pictures above were taken by BBC Northern Ireland journalist Seamus Kelters, who was good enough to let us reproduce them here, but it’s worth taking a look at the Twitter account of BBC weather presenter Barra Best, who retweeted a number of similar pictures of the clouds that had been sent his way this evening.
Damn nature, you scary!
