Some areas may experience slow-moving and prolonged showers and storms, which could bring 15-20 mm of rain in less than an hour and possibly 30-40 mm over a few hours. Lightning and hail are also potential hazards.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for the inclement weather, assess whether your location is at risk of flash flooding and consider creating a flood plan and 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. Stay informed about road conditions and public transport schedules to avoid delays, and gather essential items like torches, batteries, and a mobile phone power pack in case of power cuts.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself outdoors during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed area, such as a car, and avoid standing near trees or structures that may attract lightning strikes. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly by staying updated on the latest forecast from the Met Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12618","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Wednesday to bring more heavy showers and thunderstorms, could lead to travel disruption and flooding.","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<li>Stirling<\/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>West Lothian<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Strathclyde<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Argyll and Bute<\/li>\n<li>North Lanarkshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","mbww_date_from":"2024-05-29 10:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-29 19:00:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds<\/li>\n<li>There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life<\/li>\n<li>Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services<\/li>\n<li>Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures<\/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\/12618","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=12618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
