Weather Alerts

Heavy rain and strong winds from Storm Chandra on Tuesday may lead to some flooding and disruption.: UPDATED

Northern Ireland
Severity: Moderate Urgency: Future

This warning was originally issued as a dual warning for Rain and Wind. Information on update: Some adjustments made to the rainfall amounts, and an increase in the likelihood of medium impacts. Validity period extended to cover the whole of Tuesday. Outbreaks of rain will spread across Northern Ireland during Tuesday, perhaps falling as snow for a time over the highest ground, before turning more showery later in the day. Rainfall totals of 20-30 mm are likely fairly widely, with 50-70 mm possible on high ground, especially in eastern areas. Given the saturated nature of the ground, this may lead to some flooding. Rain will also be accompanied by strong east to southeasterly winds, particularly in northern and eastern areas where peak gusts of 40-50 mph are possible inland and potentially 60-70 mph along some exposed coasts. A separate amber warning for strong winds is in place for the north and east of Northern Ireland. For further details see https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings

Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus, train and ferry 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. If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. 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.
