In areas where storms do occur, heavy rainfall of 15 to 30 mm within an hour or two, along with frequent lightning, hail, and strong winds, may pose additional risks.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure safety, assess if your area is susceptible to flash flooding and consider creating a flood plan and assembling an emergency flood kit. Secure loose objects and structures, such as bins, outdoor furniture, trampolines, tents, and sheds, before the arrival of gusty winds. Stay informed about road conditions, bus and train schedules, and adjust your travel arrangements as needed to avoid potential delays.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare for potential power outages by gathering essentials like torches, batteries, a mobile phone power bank, and other necessary items. If caught outdoors during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed area, such as a car, and avoid standing near trees or tall structures that could be struck by lightning. Be vigilant and stay updated on weather warnings, as conditions can change rapidly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12620","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Thunderstorms could lead to heavy rainfall, travel delays, and potential 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 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>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 small chance that some communities become 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<li>There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12620","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=12620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
