A heavy rain area is expected to move westward across parts of England and then into Wales today. There is some uncertainty regarding the exact location of this rain band, with a possibility that it may linger over parts of the West Midlands, northwest England, and into Wales later in the day. If this occurs, some areas could experience 40-60 mm of rainfall within 3-6 hours.
To prepare for potential flooding, check if your property is at risk and consider creating a flood plan and emergency kit. Stay informed about road conditions, bus and train schedules, and adjust your travel plans accordingly. Prepare for power outages by gathering essential items such as torches, batteries, and a mobile phone power pack.
Weather warnings can change rapidly, so stay updated by monitoring the weather forecast in your area when a warning is issued by the Met Office.
