The Met Office says from 11am today, November 24, a yellow weather warning will kick in. The warning covers the whole region, and is set to last several hours, until 6pm.

A spokesperson said: “Strong winds associated with Storm Bert are likely to cause some disruption to travel and utilities.

“Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely and it’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves.”

Yesterday, the Department for Infrastructure said its roads and rivers teams responded to more than 500 incidents after Storm Bert.

It said that roads across counties Tyrone, Down and Antrim were blocked by trees and flood waters, and properties were flooded in Dundonald, Kilcoo, Coalisland and Ballinamallard as well a Royal Mail property in Mallusk.
