Yellow weather warning in place today across Northern Ireland
Last updated 26th Sep 2024
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning today for heavy rain expected to hit eastern parts of Northern Ireland.
The rain warning is in place until 6pm today. Eastern counties will see the largest rainfall amounts, especially across Co Down and Co Antrim, where 30 to 50 mm is likely quite widely, and perhaps as much as 60 to 80 mm across high ground such as the Mournes.
Despite recent dry weather, this may lead to some flooding and transport disruption.
What to expect?
🌧️ Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
🌧️ Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
