Heavy rain may lead to some disruption to travel and possibly some flooding. What to expect: Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures Where flooding occurs, there is a chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services There is a chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life There is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses Further details: An area of occasionally heavy rain will move northeast across the warning area during Thursday morning and afternoon before clearing to the east through the evening. Given recent very wet weather, there is potential for some disruption to travel and possible flooding. Much of the warning area will see 15-25 mm but some places could see 40-60 mm, with the highest totals falling over high ground of south Wales and Dartmoor. Strong winds, perhaps gusting in excess of 50 mph along some English Channel coasts, may exacerbated the impacts from rain. What Should I Do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
