Weather Warnings, 16.04.2025, UK

Severe Weather Warnings: Rain

Date

issued by the Metoffice at
   07:30, 16.04.2025

valid from
   02:00, 16.04.2025
until
   21:00, 16.04.2025


Region: Northern Ireland

Warning

Rain is expected to continue, heavy at times, and lasting for much of Wednesday. Most areas within the warning will see 20-30 mm of rain, but a few spots could see 50-60 mm particularly over the high ground of Antrim, Down and Londonderry. Rain will ease from the west Wednesday evening. 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.

Chief Forecaster

A few places may see 50-75 mm of rain during this period: gradually building up in the west following rain on Monday, whilst in parts of the east, falling in shorter periods where heavy showers and thunderstorms become slow-moving.
