These storms could bring heavy rain, lightning, and the possibility of hail, with up to 30 mm of rain falling in a short period in some places, and possibly even up to 50 mm in isolated spots. To prepare for potential flash flooding, consider creating a flood plan and emergency kit. Check road, bus, and train conditions to avoid delays and be ready for power outages by gathering essential items like torches, batteries, and a mobile phone power pack. If caught outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed space such as a car, avoiding trees and elevated areas. Stay updated on weather warnings as they may change quickly, according to the Met Office recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12374","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Possible travel disruption and flooding due to thunderstorms developing this afternoon and evening.","mbww_dates":"","mbww_regions":"<div>\n<h4>East Midlands<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Derbyshire<\/li>\n<li>Leicester<\/li>\n<li>Leicestershire<\/li>\n<li>Northamptonshire<\/li>\n<li>Rutland<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>East of England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Bedford<\/li>\n<li>Cambridgeshire<\/li>\n<li>Central Bedfordshire<\/li>\n<li>Essex<\/li>\n<li>Hertfordshire<\/li>\n<li>Luton<\/li>\n<li>Norfolk<\/li>\n<li>Peterborough<\/li>\n<li>Suffolk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>London &amp; South East England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Buckinghamshire<\/li>\n<li>Milton Keynes<\/li>\n<li>Oxfordshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>North West England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Cheshire East<\/li>\n<li>Cheshire West and Chester<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>South West England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Gloucestershire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Wales<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Conwy<\/li>\n<li>Denbighshire<\/li>\n<li>Flintshire<\/li>\n<li>Gwynedd<\/li>\n<li>Monmouthshire<\/li>\n<li>Powys<\/li>\n<li>Wrexham<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>West Midlands<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Herefordshire<\/li>\n<li>Shropshire<\/li>\n<li>Staffordshire<\/li>\n<li>Stoke-on-Trent<\/li>\n<li>Telford and Wrekin<\/li>\n<li>Warwickshire<\/li>\n<li>West Midlands Conurbation<\/li>\n<li>Worcestershire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","mbww_date_from":"2024-05-02 12:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-02 23:59:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>Difficult driving conditions and some road closures could result from spray and sudden flooding<\/li>\n<li>There is a possibility that flooded roads could lead to some communities becoming cut off<\/li>\n<li>Train and bus services may experience delays and some cancellations in areas where flooding or lightning strikes occur<\/li>\n<li>Power cuts and potential loss of services to certain homes and businesses could occur to a slight extent<\/li>\n<li>Damage to buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail, or strong winds could quickly flood homes and businesses to a small extent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/weather-warning"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
