In areas where thunderstorms occur, heavy rainfall of 15 to 30 mm in less than an hour or two may lead to flash flooding, along with the additional risks of frequent lightning, hail, and gusty winds.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for potential hazards, assess if your location is at risk of flash flooding and consider creating a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Secure moveable objects and temporary structures, such as bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, gazebos, sheds, and fences, to prevent damage from gusty winds.<\/p>\n<p>To minimize delays, check road conditions and transportation schedules, adjusting travel plans accordingly. Be ready for power outages by gathering essentials like torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other necessities.<\/p>\n<p>If caught outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed space, like a car, avoiding trees or structures that may attract lightning. If on higher ground, move to lower ground for safety. Stay updated on weather warnings as they can change rapidly, according to the Met Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12617","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Thunderstorms could lead to heavy rainfall, causing travel disruptions and possible flooding.","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>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>Cambridgeshire<\/li>\n<li>Norfolk<\/li>\n<li>Peterborough<\/li>\n<li>Suffolk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>North West England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Greater Manchester<\/li>\n<li>Lancashire<\/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":"2024-05-28 14:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-28 19:00:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>There is a slight possibility of homes and businesses being quickly flooded, leading to potential damage from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail, or strong winds<\/li>\n<li>If flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a possibility of delays and potential cancellations of train and bus services<\/li>\n<li>Spray and sudden flooding may create challenging driving conditions and result in some road closures<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight chance that certain communities may become isolated due to flooded roads<\/li>\n<li>There is a small possibility of power outages and potential disruption of other services to some homes and businesses<\/li>\n<li>There is a small risk of swift or deep floodwater posing a threat to life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12617","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=12617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
