Storm Babet, the second named storm of the season, will last until Saturday and is expected to cause flooding, power cuts and travel disruption. As Storm Babet tracks north-east, however, it will also batter the UK with heavy rain and high winds. Storm Babet will first bring some heavy rain to Northern Ireland through this afternoon and into Thursday morning. The Met Office said people in the region can expect spray and flooding which may lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures for the duration of the yellow warning for rain, which comes into effect at 2pm and expires at 10am on Thursday.
“Heavy and persistent rain will fall onto already saturated ground bringing a risk of flooding. It is important to stay up to date with warnings from your local flood warning agency as well as the local authorities.
