• Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
• Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
• Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible
• Some interruption to power supplies and other services is possible
Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.
Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
A region of rain and showers, heavy at times, associated with a slow moving area of low pressure is expected to drift across Northern Ireland overnight Saturday into Sunday.
10-20 mm is expected widely and in a few spots as much as 25 mm could fall in a 9-12 hour period, leading to localised flooding and difficult driving conditions.
It will also become windy with easterly winds gusting 30 to 35 mph inland and to 45 to 55 mph on some coasts and over high ground. Winds will ease after midnight.
