Region: Northern Ireland
Rain, becoming heavy at a times across east-facing parts of the Mournes and Antrim Plateau, will push north across Northern Ireland this evening, clearing to the north by dawn tomorrow. Rain will be accompanied by strong and gusty easterly winds. Most parts of the warning area will see 15-25 mm of rain, with widely 30-40 mm, falling across exposed hills of the east. There is a chance that as much as 60-70 mm of rain could fall on the eastern slopes of the Antrim Plateau before rain clears. Some flooding is possible, as is disruption to infrastructure and travel. What should I do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
Chief ForecasterPersistent rain bringing some impacts to travel and infrastructure overnight and for a time Wednesday.
