Heavy and persistent rain is expected on Wednesday afternoon, gradually easing up by Thursday morning. The heaviest rainfall is predicted to occur over north facing hills, with strong winds causing enhanced accumulations. Up to 30-40mm of rain is anticipated in many places within the warning area, while higher ground in northwest England could receive 70-90mm. The mountains of north Wales may even see 100-150mm or more.
To stay safe, it is advised to avoid traveling on potentially dangerous roads during these conditions. If you must drive, proceed with caution and be vigilant for any hazards. It is crucial to refrain from driving, walking, or swimming in floodwater, and to call 999 if you find yourself in fast-flowing or deep water.
