There is a likelihood of heavy showers and thunderstorms forming a band from southwest England to the south Midlands and parts of the Home Counties during late Sunday morning and into the afternoon. Some areas may experience 15-25 mm of rain in 1-2 hours from multiple showers in the same location, with isolated areas potentially getting 30-40 mm.
To prepare for the weather conditions, consider the risk of flash flooding in your area and create a flood plan along with an emergency flood kit. Stay informed about road conditions, train and bus schedules, and adjust your travel plans accordingly to avoid delays.
Being ready for power outages is essential. Gather essentials like torches, batteries, a mobile phone charger, and other necessary items in case of a power cut. In the event of thunderstorms while outdoors, seek shelter in a safe enclosed area like a car. Avoid standing near trees or other structures that could attract lightning strikes and if you are in a high area, move to lower ground.
Remember that weather warnings can change quickly so it is important to stay updated on the forecast for your region. Following the advice from the Met Office will help you be prepared for any sudden weather changes.
