Further rain, heavy at times, is expected through Thursday. Rain will ease for a time Thursday evening, before further spells of rain or showers arrive from the south Thursday night, these clearing Friday morning. Accumulations of 15-25 mm expected widely. Some places are likely to see 25-30 mm, locally in excess of 40 mm, especially across the Antrim hills. What should I do? 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.
