The sun may be shining with the backdrop of beautiful blue skies today, but things are likely to change by Thursday, say the Met Office, in their latest weather warning.
Valid from 11am to 10pm on Thursday (7th Dec) the warning reads:
A band of rain will move eastwards across the area during Thursday before clearing during the evening.
“Rain will be heavy at times, especially over hills, with 20-30mm likely in places. Rain will be accompanied by strong south-easterly winds.
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.
What to expect
- Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
- Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
