Some roads are impassable in Killowen, Camlough, Moira, Ballynahinch, Bangor and Helen's Bay.
Newry Canal burst its banks overnight, flooding parts of the city centre, including Sugar Island, Kildare Street, Canal Quay and part of Bridge Street. Sandbags were laid along the banks of the Clanrye River in Newry on Monday night as staff from the council and various government agencies tried to protect city centre properties.
Shortly before midnight, Stormont's Department for Infrastructure tweeted that it was a "well co-ordinated multi-agency response". However, the workers could not keep floodwater from Newry Canal away from nearby businesses along Sugarhouse Quay and Canal Quay.Newry and Armagh councillor Oonagh Magennis said that severe flooding was "causing havoc throughout the area", including Camlough village in south Armagh. "It's a nightmare," Ms Magennis told BBC News NI, adding that many roads across south Armagh are badly affected.
Gary Quinn, director of rivers operations at the Department for Infrastructure, said it had been a long and difficult night but authorities had been well prepared. However, he told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme the coming days were due to be a "very difficult period" as more rain is forecast."There is potential for further impacts in Newry and across Northern Ireland - ground water levels are heavily saturated and river levels are at an all-time high."
