The Met Office are warning Islanders to be aware of the forecast of heavy rain tomorrow (Tuesday).
Valid from 9am on Tuesday until 9am on Wednesday 11 May 2016 , the warning reads,
Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times with a risk of thunder, are expected during Tuesday giving a risk of local accumulations in excess of 20 or 30 mm.
Please be aware of possible localised surface water flooding where the heaviest rain occurs.
An update from the Met Office includes,
A frontal zone will bring spells of rain to many areas on Tuesday. Whilst some of the rain will be heavy, rainfall amounts now look less likely to lead to flooding. However, there is now a greater risk of some heavy, thundery downpours breaking out during Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Many places will miss these, but where they do occur there is potential for over 25 mm rainfall in a short space of time with an associated risk of surface water flooding, perhaps most likely across southwest England where showers are slower-moving.
These may last well into the night before slowly clearing away to the west on Wednesday morning.
