The banks of Newry canal burst after a night of relentless rain across counties Down, Armagh and Antrim.
The scenes come after an amber warning for rain in Northern Ireland overnight, just ahead of the expected arrival of Storm Ciaran across the UK and Ireland on Wednesday.
South of the border, a yellow rain warning issued by Met Eireann covering Louth and Monaghan expired in the early hours of Tuesday. Gusts of 80mph are possible along the south coast of England, with 20mm to 25mm of rain expected across southern and western areas, but potentially up to 40mm to 60mm over higher ground, the Met Office said.The forecaster advises the latest rain could lead to disruption on roads and to public transport while areas already affected by flooding after Storm Babet could get worse.
He said Tuesday was expected to be still unsettled but quieter before heavy winds and longer spells of rain develop on Wednesday into Thursday as Storm Ciaran arrives.
