There is a chance of slow-moving, heavy showers with isolated thunderstorms in the west of Northern Ireland starting late on Sunday morning. While many areas may miss the worst of the showers, some places could experience 30-40 mm of rain in just an hour or two, possibly with hail. These showers are expected to diminish by the evening.
To prepare for potential flash flooding, create a flood plan and assemble an emergency flood kit if you are in a vulnerable location. Secure moveable objects like bins, garden furniture, and trampolines before strong winds hit. Be proactive by checking road conditions and adjusting travel plans accordingly.
In case of power outages, gather essential items like torches, batteries, and a mobile phone power pack. If caught outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in an enclosed space like a car and avoid trees and elevated areas. Stay informed of changing weather warnings by keeping up with the latest forecasts from the Met Office.
