The latest heavy rain has come before Storm Ciaran, which is expected to batter the UK and Ireland later this week.
Flooding has been reported in parts of Northern Ireland as police urged people against travelling due to an amber rain warning.
Stormont’s Department for Infrastructure said police were warning people not to travel during the period the amber warning is in effect. “Please stay at home where possible and do not make unnecessary journeys. If you must travel, please bear the prevailing conditions in mind. The forecaster advises the latest rain could lead to disruption to roads and public transport while already flood-affected areas after Storm Babet could get worse.
“The main focus in the next day or two is towards the east of Scotland and north-east England where there is a yellow rain warning until 3am. Kate Marks, flood duty manager at the Environment Agency, said: “We urge people to stay safe on the coast and to remember to take extreme care on coastal paths and promenades.
