Storm Claudia, previously named by the Spanish Meteorological Service, will bring rain north through Friday evening and night, before slowly easing through Saturday morning. Strong easterly winds will accompany this rain. Accumulations of 10-20 mm are expected fairly widely, with potentially in excess of 40 mm over the Mourne mountains. This, following recent wet weather, is likely to lead to some surface water and river flooding impacts. 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.
