Some areas may receive 15-25 mm of rain in 1-2 hours from multiple showers moving over the same location, with a possibility of 30-40 mm in a few spots.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for potential flash flooding, assess if your area is at risk and create a flood plan along with an emergency flood kit. To avoid delays, check road conditions, bus and train schedules, and adjust your travel arrangements as needed.<\/p>\n<p>Being equipped for power outages can help you handle them better. Stock up on torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other essential items. If caught outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed space like a car, avoiding trees and structures that could attract lightning. Move to lower ground if you are in a higher area.<\/p>\n<p>Remain vigilant as weather warnings may change rapidly. When a warning is issued, stay updated with the local weather forecast according to the Met Office's recommendation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12586","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Potential disruption in some areas due to heavy showers and thunderstorms","mbww_dates":"","mbww_regions":"<div>\n<h4>East Midlands<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Northamptonshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>East of England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Cambridgeshire<\/li>\n<li>Central Bedfordshire<\/li>\n<li>Essex<\/li>\n<li>Hertfordshire<\/li>\n<li>Luton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>London &amp; South East England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Bracknell Forest<\/li>\n<li>Buckinghamshire<\/li>\n<li>Greater London<\/li>\n<li>Hampshire<\/li>\n<li>Milton Keynes<\/li>\n<li>Oxfordshire<\/li>\n<li>Reading<\/li>\n<li>Slough<\/li>\n<li>Surrey<\/li>\n<li>West Berkshire<\/li>\n<li>Windsor and Maidenhead<\/li>\n<li>Wokingham<\/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>Devon<\/li>\n<li>Dorset<\/li>\n<li>North Somerset<\/li>\n<li>Plymouth<\/li>\n<li>Somerset<\/li>\n<li>South Gloucestershire<\/li>\n<li>Swindon<\/li>\n<li>Torbay<\/li>\n<li>Wiltshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","mbww_date_from":"2024-05-26 10:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-26 19:00:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>Driving conditions may be affected by spray and standing water, resulting in longer journey times by car and bus<\/li>\n<li>Possible delays to train services<\/li>\n<li>Some homes and businesses may experience flooding, potentially leading to damage to buildings or structures<\/li>\n<li>A slight possibility of temporary power outages and damage to some buildings and structures from lightning strikes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12586","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=12586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
