For “Where can I check Northern Ireland flood warnings before driving?”, the wider Northern Ireland context is this: Northern Ireland winter driving is especially sensitive to changing road-surface temperature, rain, ice, flooding and exposed routes.

TrafficWatchNI and current weather warnings are the right live sources when conditions are deteriorating.

For this exact question — “Where can I check Northern Ireland flood warnings before driving?” — the practical point is: Use more than one current official source when conditions are severe and avoid relying on an old social-media photograph. The answer should be applied to the actual signs, conditions, licence wording or parking rules in force at the time, because temporary restrictions and individual DVA decisions can change the ordinary position.
