Met Office Issues ‘Be Aware’ Rain Warning

The Met Office have issued a Yellow Warning, for people in the region to Be Aware of possible heavy rain.

The Yellow Warning is second from lowest in their four, coming before Be Prepared.

Here’s the details of what they’re saying …

“Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop in places during Monday afternoon and evening, persisting through into Tuesday. These have the potential to bring localised rainfall totals of 25-50 mm in a few hours, with a risk of flash flooding and large hail.”

From the map on their site, it looks like only the east-side of the Island would be rained on by it.

Thanks to John Marr at V4x4R for the heads up.

UPDATE 17:39
Thanks to Reg White who alerted VB to another page on the MetCheck site is showing wind speeds to up to 285 MPH for later in the week. We assume (and hope!) that their Website is having a bit of a wobble and showing the wrong data.
