Some places may experience intense downpours, resulting in up to 30 mm of rainfall in less than an hour and possibly 50 mm over 2 to 3 hours, leading to surface water flooding. Large hail, frequent lightning strikes, and strong wind gusts are additional hazards in localized areas.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for the weather, consider if your location is at risk of flash flooding and create a flood plan and emergency flood kit if necessary. Secure moveable objects and temporary structures like bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, gazebos, sheds, and fences before gusty winds arrive. Check road conditions and public transportation schedules for any changes and gather essential items like torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other necessities to cope with power cuts.<\/p>\n<p>If caught outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in an enclosed space such as a car and avoid trees or structures that may attract lightning strikes. Be prepared for rapidly changing weather warnings by staying informed with the latest forecast updates from the Met Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12453","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Potential disruption in travel and isolated property flooding possible 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>Possible power outages and disruptions to services for some residences and businesses<\/li>\n<li>Flooding or lightning strikes could lead to delays or cancellations of train and bus services<\/li>\n<li>Rapid flooding of properties with potential damage from floodwater, lightning, hail, or strong winds<\/li>\n<li>Potential for fast-moving or deep floodwaters posing a threat to life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12453","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=12453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
