Expect heavy rain across much of England and Wales today, gradually easing in eastern England. The rain may become particularly heavy over parts of northern England and North Wales, especially on north-facing hills, before tapering off on Thursday morning. Rainfall totals are expected to range from 30-40 mm in many areas, with some locations potentially seeing 60-80 mm. Upland areas within the Amber warning zone could receive even higher amounts, up to 100-150 mm. To prepare for possible flooding, check if your property is at risk and create a flood plan and emergency kit. Stay informed about road conditions, public transport schedules, and be ready for power outages by gathering necessary supplies like torches, batteries, and a phone charger. Keep up to date with weather warnings as they can change rapidly.
