“Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer. Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer. Some interruption to power supplies and other services likely. Temporary flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible.
“A spell of persistent rain is expected to arrive across Northern Ireland early on Tuesday morning, with some heavy bursts developing at times especially during Tuesday afternoon and evening, before the rain clears late on.
“Widely 20-30 mm is probable over the course of around 18 hours, with some high ground perhaps receiving 40mm or more, eg Mourne Mountains. However, within the broad area of rain there are likely to be periods with heavier bursts containing 10-20 mm over a 1-3 hour period which could cause a few issues such as temporary surface water flooding and difficult travelling conditions. In addition stronger winds are likely to develop along some eastern coasts, adding to the potential for disruption in a few places.”
