• Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services • There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost • Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures • There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds Consider if your location is at risk of flash flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Before gusty winds arrive, check to ensure moveable objects or temporary structures are well secured. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, gazebos, sheds, and fences. 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 find yourself outside and hear thunder, protect yourself by finding a safe enclosed shelter (such as a car). Do not shelter under or near trees, or other structures which may be struck by lightning. If you are on an elevated area move to lower ground. 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. Whilst many places will miss them, scattered thunderstorms may either arrive from the south or break out through the rest of this morning and more especially through this afternoon and early evening before decaying or clearing later this evening. The west of Northern Ireland is probably most at risk of seeing thunderstorms, but anywhere within the warning area may see some activity. Where thunderstorms do occur, heavy rain, large hail, gusty winds and frequent lightning are all possible, with 15-30 mm of rain falling in a short space of time in a few places.
