Northern Ireland weather: Met Office issues yellow warning and calls for caution on the roads

A yellow weather warning for rain is now in place across all areas of Northern Ireland, with road-users and householders warned of the potential for flooding.

The warning came into force at 8am on Sunday and continues until 3pm this afternoon.

The Met Office said it is forecasting a band of rain moving northeast across all counties during Sunday daytime.

Rainfall amounts will vary from place to place but, while most areas can expect to see 15-20 mm, a few places could see 25-30 mm falling within six hours, this most likely across parts of Co Down and higher ground elsewhere.

With this falling on already very wet ground, it could lead to some disruption to travel and normal activities.
