Weather warning: Northern Ireland set for more heavy rain
- Published
A yellow weather warning will run from 21:00 GMT on Monday until 07:00 on Tuesday
More torrential rain is forecast for Northern Ireland, with the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning.
Between 10-15mm (0.4-0.6in) of rain is expected across a wide area, with up to 30mm likely in eastern areas.
Due to the already saturated ground from recent storms and rain, the likelihood of flooding is higher than usual.
The warning for all counties is in place from 21:00 GMT on Monday until 07:00 on Tuesday.
Alongside potential flooding, travel disruption is expected due to surface spray on roads, potentially causing longer journey times.
