Heavy rain and strong winds from Storm Chandra on Tuesday may lead to some flooding and disruption.: UPDATED

Issue date: 2026-01-26T10:23+00:00

This warning was originally issued as a dual warning for Rain and Wind. Information on update: Some adjustments made to the rainfall amounts, and an increase in the likelihood of medium impacts. Validity period extended to cover the whole of Tuesday. Outbreaks of rain will spread across Northern Ireland during Tuesday, perhaps falling as snow for a time over the highest ground, before turning more showery later in the day. Rainfall totals of 20-30 mm are likely fairly widely, with 50-70 mm possible on high ground, especially in eastern areas. Given the saturated nature of the ground, this may lead to some flooding. Rain will also be accompanied by strong east to southeasterly winds, particularly in northern and eastern areas where peak gusts of 40-50 mph are possible inland and potentially 60-70 mph along some exposed coasts. A separate amber warning for strong winds is in place for the north and east of Northern Ireland. For further details see https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings
