More heavy rain, possibly with thunder in the south, is expected to move in from the south later in the evening. Some areas may see intense downpours, leading to potential surface water flooding with 20 to 30 mm of rain in less than an hour and up to 30-50 mm over 2 to 3 hours.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for possible flooding, assess if your area is at risk and create a flood plan along with an emergency flood kit. Stay informed about road conditions and public transportation schedules to avoid delays. Be ready for power outages by gathering essentials like torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other necessary items.<\/p>\n<p>If caught outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed space, like a car, and avoid trees or structures that could attract lightning. Keep informed about changing weather warnings, and follow the Met Office's advice to stay updated on the weather forecast for your area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12424","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Possible Travel Disruption and Property Flooding Expected from Heavy Showers and Thunderstorms","mbww_dates":"","mbww_regions":"<div>\n<h4>Central, Tayside &amp; Fife<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Clackmannanshire<\/li>\n<li>Falkirk<\/li>\n<li>Fife<\/li>\n<li>Perth and Kinross<\/li>\n<li>Stirling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Highlands &amp; Eilean Siar<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Na h-Eileanan Siar<\/li>\n<li>Highland<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>North West England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Cumbria<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>SW Scotland, Lothian Borders<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Dumfries and Galloway<\/li>\n<li>West Lothian<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Strathclyde<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Argyll and Bute<\/li>\n<li>East Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>East Dunbartonshire<\/li>\n<li>East Renfrewshire<\/li>\n<li>Glasgow<\/li>\n<li>Inverclyde<\/li>\n<li>North Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>North Lanarkshire<\/li>\n<li>Renfrewshire<\/li>\n<li>South Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>South Lanarkshire<\/li>\n<li>West Dunbartonshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","mbww_date_from":"2024-05-12 14:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-13 04:00:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>There is a slight risk of homes and businesses being flooded rapidly, resulting in damage to buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail, or strong winds<\/li>\n<li>There is a slim possibility of fast-flowing or deep floodwater posing a threat to life<\/li>\n<li>In areas affected by flooding or lightning strikes, there is a potential for delays and some cancellations of train and bus services<\/li>\n<li>Spray and sudden flooding may create challenging driving conditions and lead to some road closures<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight chance that certain communities could be isolated due to flooded roads<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight probability of power outages and potential disruption of services to some homes and businesses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12424","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=12424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
