Region: Northern Ireland

Southwesterly winds are expected to gust between 40 and 50 mph across much of Northern Ireland during Thursday morning. There is potential for many areas to see a short period when gusts may reach 50-60 mph accompanied by heavy rain. Winds easing from the west during the late morning. What Should I Do? 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. 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.

Strong winds along with a spell of heavy rain leading to difficult travel conditions on Thursday morning.
