Some areas may experience intense downpours, with up to 30 mm of rainfall within an hour and possibly 40-50 mm over 2 to 3 hours, which could lead to surface water flooding. Additionally, hail, frequent lightning strikes, and strong wind gusts are potential localized hazards.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare, assess if your location is prone to flash flooding and consider creating a flood plan and emergency flood kit. Secure moveable objects and temporary structures, like bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, gazebos, sheds, and fences before the arrival of gusty winds. Check road conditions and public transport schedules to avoid delays.<\/p>\n<p>For power outages, gather torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other essentials to better cope. If caught outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed area, like a car, and avoid standing near or under trees or structures that could attract lightning strikes. Be ready for rapid changes in weather warnings by staying informed with the latest forecasts from the Met Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12413","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Possible disruption due to heavy showers and thunderstorms, travel and property floods could occur.","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 slight chance of fast-flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life, especially in places such as road and railway underpasses.<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail, or strong winds.<\/li>\n<li>Spray and sudden flooding could result in difficult driving conditions and some road closures.<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur, and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost.<\/li>\n<li>Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12413","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=12413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
