A yellow weather warning for snow across Northern Ireland is no longer in place for New Year’s day.

However, a yellow weather warning for wind remains for New Year’s Eve.

The Met Office alert comes into force from 6am tomorrow (Tuesday) until 2pm.

What should I expect?

  • It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves
  • Probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer
  • Some short-term loss of power and other services is possible
  • Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely
