UK weather warnings

Further detail

An area of rain is expected to develop later this morning across the north of the warning area, before spreading south, whilst turning heavy in places. Much of the warning area will see 15-20 mm of rain, with a few places seeing 30-40 mm. Whilst these totals are not unusual for the time of year, given recent very wet weather some impacts and disruption are more likely than normal. Rain will ease across the north of the warning area through early afternoon, before clearing the south of the warning area by Tuesday evening. 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.
