A TRAVEL warning is in place today amid flooding fears as heavy rain is set to smash the UK.
The Met Office have issued a yellow weather warning for rain, covering the entirety of Northern Ireland.
The alert warns of "spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer" and of bus and train services being affected.
The warning also suggests that flooding of some homes and businesses is "likely".
The rest of the UK is not covered by any weather warning, but rain is expected in western areas.
The Met's forecasters predict that rain will sweep across Northern Ireland, western Scotland and the South West into this evening.
