“There is a small chance that heavy rain may lead to flooding and travel disruption”
A weather warning for Northern Ireland has been issued by the Met Office, and is set to bring potential disruption to travel.
The yellow alert for rain, will be in place across Saturday and Sunday. The warning is active from 12 on Saturday, September 20, and will end at 3am the following day.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “There is a small chance that heavy rain may lead to flooding and travel disruption.”
What should I expect?
- There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings
- Where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services
- Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
Looking ahead to next week, the Met Office said the UK forecast “will turn colder”.
“Into next week, a northwest-southeast split is most likely,” a spokesperson added.
“The best of drier spells will be in the north and northwest where some fog and frost patches are possible, but there will be spells or rain or showers in south and eastern areas, near to an area of low pressure. It will also turn colder, as a northerly flow becomes established for a time. Later in the week, more widely drier and settled conditions could develop as high pressure becomes more influential, although probably still with some coastal showers.
“Temperatures should gradually return closer to average in this period. Later in the period there may be a return to a more changeable pattern but this is uncertain.”
