The Met Office has updated their overnight weather warning to now include heavy rain as well as strong winds.
Valid from 8pm tonight (Monday) the warning runs until 8am on Tuesday and reads:
An area of rain will move northwards overnight, turning heavy for a time before clearing away northeast on Tuesday morning.
While many places are unlikely to see impacts, it is possible that the rain band could become slow moving for a time giving localised accumulations of 20-30 mm in two to three hours and perhaps 40-50 mm in three to four hours which could lead to some surface water impacts and delays to transport.
What to expect
- Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
- Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
- Some interruption to power supplies and other services likely
- Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely
