While many areas may experience minimal rain, some locations could see 20-30 mm of rainfall within an hour or two, with a small possibility of 40-50 mm in certain places due to repeated shower development. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to diminish gradually on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n<p>For safety, consider assessing if your area is prone to flash flooding. If so, it is advisable to create a flood plan and assemble an emergency flood kit. Take precautions to safeguard your property and individuals from harm by securing moveable objects or temporary structures before strong winds arrive. It is recommended to check road conditions, bus and train schedules, and alter travel arrangements if needed to avoid delays.<\/p>\n<p>To be prepared for power outages, gather torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other essential items. If caught outdoors during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed area, like a car, and avoid standing near trees or structures that may attract lightning strikes.
