Yellow warning for heavy rain issued for parts of Northern Ireland
The Met Office has issued a Yellow warning for heavy rain which may lead to flooding over parts of Northern Ireland, on Wednesday, (September 25).
The warning is in place from 8.00pm on Wednesday until noon on Thursday (September 26).
The Met Office stated: “Outbreaks of rain will become persistent and, at times, heavy on Wednesday evening, persisting through the night and perhaps much of Thursday morning.
"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. The rain is expected to slowly ease through the late morning period.”
It added people should expect:
- Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer;
- Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer.
