Region: Northern Ireland

Rain is expected to push north across much of Northern Ireland during Tuesday evening and overnight, clearing from the south on Wednesday morning. The heaviest rain is likely to be across southeastern areas, where 20-30 mm is likely widely. Some high ground of South Armagh and South Down, and particularly the Mournes, could see 50-80 mm. 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.

Spells of heavy rain may bring some disruption to parts of southeast Northern Ireland
