Rainfall amounts will vary within the warning area, with the potential for 20-30 mm of rain to fall in an hour or less where showers consolidate. There could also be frequent lightning and hail, especially in the eastern part of the area.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for the possible flash flooding, determine if your location is at risk and develop a flood plan along with an emergency flood kit. Secure moveable objects and temporary structures, such as bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, gazebos, sheds, and fences before gusty winds arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed about road conditions, bus and train schedules, and adjust travel plans as needed to avoid delays. Be ready for power outages by gathering torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other essential items in advance.<\/p>\n<p>If caught outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe, enclosed place like a car, avoiding trees or other structures that may attract lightning strikes. Move to lower ground if you are on an elevated area. Stay alert for rapidly changing weather warnings and stay updated with the weather forecast in your area as recommended by the Met Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12576","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Heavy showers and thunderstorms moving slowly could lead to flooding and disturbances in some areas.","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>Lincolnshire<\/li>\n<li>Northamptonshire<\/li>\n<li>Nottingham<\/li>\n<li>Nottinghamshire<\/li>\n<li>Rutland<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>East of England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Bedford<\/li>\n<li>Cambridgeshire<\/li>\n<li>Central Bedfordshire<\/li>\n<li>Norfolk<\/li>\n<li>Peterborough<\/li>\n<li>Suffolk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>London &amp; South East England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Milton Keynes<\/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>Wales<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Denbighshire<\/li>\n<li>Flintshire<\/li>\n<li>Powys<\/li>\n<li>Wrexham<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>West Midlands<\/h4>\n<ul>\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>East Riding of Yorkshire<\/li>\n<li>Kingston upon Hull<\/li>\n<li>North East Lincolnshire<\/li>\n<li>North Lincolnshire<\/li>\n<li>North Yorkshire<\/li>\n<li>South Yorkshire<\/li>\n<li>West Yorkshire<\/li>\n<li>York<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","mbww_date_from":"2024-05-26 12:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-26 20:00:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>There is a slight chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater and lightning strikes<\/li>\n<li>Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a possibility of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services<\/li>\n<li>Spray and sudden flooding could result in challenging driving conditions and some road closures<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight possibility that some communities may become temporarily cut off by flooded roads<\/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<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12576","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=12576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
