Storm Bram developing in the Atlantic to combine with high tides.
Following the escalation of the Storm Bram warning this morning, the Education Authority has discussed the situation with the Department.
All schools are advised to keep pupils indoors throughout the day and, if practical, to cancel after school activities.
They should also be flexible on school leaving times, for example allowing older siblings to go home early when younger brothers or sisters are leaving to avoid multiple journeys for parents.
Parents should be aware of the potential for disruption to school transport this afternoon, as it is possible that school transport services may be cancelled at short notice due to deteriorating conditions. Accordingly, parents should endeavour to make contingency plans in case they have to collect their children from school.
The situation is being kept under review centrally by the Education Authority and Department of Education. Liaison is ongoing with other public authorities under established civil contingency arrangements.
Information on the Met Office weather warnings and the areas covered is available HERE.
The upgraded amber warning affects parts of Antrim, Fermanagh, Derry and Tyrone and will come into effect from 2.00pm to 7.00pm today.
