There is a possibility of intense downpours in some areas, with up to 30mm of rain in under an hour and potentially 50mm over 2 to 3 hours, leading to surface water flooding. Additional hazards may include large hail, frequent lightning, and strong wind gusts.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the risk of flash flooding for your location and make a flood plan, along with an emergency flood kit. Secure moveable objects and temporary structures like bins, garden furniture, and sheds before gusty winds arrive. Check road conditions and transport timetables to avoid delays if traveling. Prepare for power cuts by gathering essential items like torches, batteries, and a mobile phone power pack.<\/p>\n<p>Seek shelter in a safe enclosed area if you are outside and hear thunder, avoiding trees or structures that may be struck by lightning. Stay informed about changing weather warnings and updates from the Met Office to ensure you are prepared for any changes in the forecast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12446","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Potential travel disruptions and property flooding expected 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>West Berkshire<\/li>\n<li>Windsor and Maidenhead<\/li>\n<li>Wokingham<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>North East England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Durham<\/li>\n<li>Northumberland<\/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>SW Scotland, Lothian Borders<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Scottish Borders<\/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>Bristol<\/li>\n<li>Devon<\/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>Wiltshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Wales<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Blaenau Gwent<\/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>Newport<\/li>\n<li>Powys<\/li>\n<li>Rhondda Cynon Taf<\/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 13:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-12 23:00:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>Spray and sudden flooding may result in challenging driving conditions and potential road closures<\/li>\n<li>Power outages may occur and certain homes and businesses may experience service interruptions<\/li>\n<li>In areas affected by flooding or lightning strikes, there is a possibility of delays and cancellations to train and bus services<\/li>\n<li>Homes and businesses could be quickly flooded, leading to damage from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail, or strong winds<\/li>\n<li>Rapidly flowing or deep floodwater could pose a threat to life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12446","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=12446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
