Some areas may experience intense downpours, with the potential for up to 30 mm of rain in less than an hour and possibly 40-50 mm over 2 to 3 hours, leading to surface water flooding. Hail, frequent lightning, and strong wind gusts are also possible hazards in certain locations.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for the potential flash flooding, consider creating a flood plan and emergency flood kit if you are in a vulnerable area. Secure any moveable objects or temporary structures, like bins, garden furniture, and tents, before the arrival of gusty winds. Stay informed about road conditions and public transport schedules in case of delays.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of power cuts, having essential items like torches, batteries, and a mobile phone power pack can help you cope better. If you are outdoors during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed space like a car and avoid trees or other structures that may attract lightning strikes. Stay updated on weather warnings as they can change rapidly according to the Met Office's recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12408","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Potential for travel disruption and isolated property flooding due to heavy showers and thunderstorms.","mbww_dates":"","mbww_regions":"<div>\n<h4>East Midlands<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Derby<\/li>\n<li>Derbyshire<\/li>\n<li>Leicester<\/li>\n<li>Leicestershire<\/li>\n<li>Northamptonshire<\/li>\n<li>Nottingham<\/li>\n<li>Nottinghamshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>London &amp; South East England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Buckinghamshire<\/li>\n<li>Hampshire<\/li>\n<li>Oxfordshire<\/li>\n<li>Reading<\/li>\n<li>Southampton<\/li>\n<li>West Berkshire<\/li>\n<li>Windsor and Maidenhead<\/li>\n<li>Wokingham<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>North West England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Blackburn with Darwen<\/li>\n<li>Blackpool<\/li>\n<li>Cheshire East<\/li>\n<li>Cheshire West and Chester<\/li>\n<li>Cumbria<\/li>\n<li>Greater Manchester<\/li>\n<li>Halton<\/li>\n<li>Lancashire<\/li>\n<li>Merseyside<\/li>\n<li>Warrington<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>South West England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Bath and North East Somerset<\/li>\n<li>Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole<\/li>\n<li>Bristol<\/li>\n<li>Devon<\/li>\n<li>Dorset<\/li>\n<li>Gloucestershire<\/li>\n<li>North Somerset<\/li>\n<li>Somerset<\/li>\n<li>South Gloucestershire<\/li>\n<li>Swindon<\/li>\n<li>Torbay<\/li>\n<li>Wiltshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Wales<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Blaenau Gwent<\/li>\n<li>Bridgend<\/li>\n<li>Caerphilly<\/li>\n<li>Cardiff<\/li>\n<li>Carmarthenshire<\/li>\n<li>Ceredigion<\/li>\n<li>Conwy<\/li>\n<li>Denbighshire<\/li>\n<li>Flintshire<\/li>\n<li>Gwynedd<\/li>\n<li>Isle of Anglesey<\/li>\n<li>Merthyr Tydfil<\/li>\n<li>Monmouthshire<\/li>\n<li>Neath Port Talbot<\/li>\n<li>Newport<\/li>\n<li>Powys<\/li>\n<li>Rhondda Cynon Taf<\/li>\n<li>Swansea<\/li>\n<li>Torfaen<\/li>\n<li>Vale of Glamorgan<\/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<div>\n<h4>Yorkshire &amp; Humber<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>North Yorkshire<\/li>\n<li>South Yorkshire<\/li>\n<li>West Yorkshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","mbww_date_from":"2024-05-12 12:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-12 22:00:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>There is a possibility of fast-flowing or deep floodwater posing a risk to life, especially in areas like road and railway underpasses.<\/li>\n<li>There is a chance of rapid flooding of homes and businesses, with potential damage from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail, or strong winds.<\/li>\n<li>Spray and sudden flooding may create hazardous driving conditions and lead to some road closures.<\/li>\n<li>There is a small likelihood of power outages and possible disruption of services to certain homes and businesses.<\/li>\n<li>In the event of flooding or lightning strikes, there is a possibility of delays and some cancellations of train and bus services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12408","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=12408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
