Some places may see 10-20 mm of rain in an hour, with a possibility of up to 30-40 mm over a few hours. Lightning may also be a concern.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare, assess whether your location is at risk of flash flooding and create a flood plan and emergency kit if necessary. Secure moveable objects and temporary structures before gusty winds arrive, such as bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, gazebos, sheds, and fences.<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed of road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables if using public transport. Be ready for power cuts by gathering torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other essentials. If caught outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed area like a car, avoiding trees and other structures at risk of lightning strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Weather warnings may change suddenly, so keep updated on forecasts from the Met Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12601","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Possible flooding and disruption in some areas due to slow-moving heavy showers and thunderstorms.","mbww_dates":"","mbww_regions":"<div>\n<h4>Central, Tayside &amp; Fife<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Angus<\/li>\n<li>Clackmannanshire<\/li>\n<li>Dundee<\/li>\n<li>Falkirk<\/li>\n<li>Fife<\/li>\n<li>Perth and Kinross<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Grampian<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Aberdeen<\/li>\n<li>Aberdeenshire<\/li>\n<li>Moray<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Highlands &amp; Eilean Siar<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Highland<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>SW Scotland, Lothian Borders<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>East Lothian<\/li>\n<li>Edinburgh<\/li>\n<li>Midlothian Council<\/li>\n<li>Scottish Borders<\/li>\n<li>West Lothian<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","mbww_date_from":"2024-05-27 11:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-27 22:00:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>There is a slight chance of homes and businesses being flooded quickly, resulting in damage from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail, or strong winds<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater posing a danger to life<\/li>\n<li>If flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a slight chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services<\/li>\n<li>Spray and sudden flooding may lead to challenging driving conditions and some road closures<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12601","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=12601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
