While not every location will experience a thunderstorm, those that do may encounter slow-moving storms with lightning, hail, and heavy rain. The heaviest storms could result in up to 20 mm of rain in under an hour, with isolated areas seeing even higher amounts in a short period.<\/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. Stay ahead of any delays by checking road conditions, bus and train schedules, and adjust your travel plans accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>It is beneficial to anticipate power cuts by gathering essential items such as torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other necessities in advance. When outdoors during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed area like a car to avoid lightning strikes. Avoid taking cover near trees or structures that are prone to lightning strikes and move to lower ground if you are on elevated terrain.<\/p>\n<p>We advise staying informed about any weather warnings as they may change rapidly. The Met Office recommends keeping abreast of the weather forecast for your area to stay prepared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12662","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Potential travel and outdoor activity disruptions due to slow-moving thunderstorms and heavy showers.","mbww_dates":"","mbww_regions":"<div>\n<h4>Central, Tayside &amp; Fife<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Clackmannanshire<\/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>North East England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Darlington<\/li>\n<li>Durham<\/li>\n<li>Gateshead<\/li>\n<li>Hartlepool<\/li>\n<li>Middlesbrough<\/li>\n<li>Newcastle upon Tyne<\/li>\n<li>North Tyneside<\/li>\n<li>Northumberland<\/li>\n<li>Redcar and Cleveland<\/li>\n<li>South Tyneside<\/li>\n<li>Stockton-on-Tees<\/li>\n<li>Sunderland<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>North West England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Blackburn with Darwen<\/li>\n<li>Blackpool<\/li>\n<li>Cumbria<\/li>\n<li>Greater Manchester<\/li>\n<li>Lancashire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>SW Scotland, Lothian Borders<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Dumfries and Galloway<\/li>\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<div>\n<h4>Strathclyde<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Argyll and Bute<\/li>\n<li>East Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>East Dunbartonshire<\/li>\n<li>East Renfrewshire<\/li>\n<li>Glasgow<\/li>\n<li>Inverclyde<\/li>\n<li>North Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>North Lanarkshire<\/li>\n<li>Renfrewshire<\/li>\n<li>South Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>South Lanarkshire<\/li>\n<li>West Dunbartonshire<\/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 Yorkshire<\/li>\n<li>West Yorkshire<\/li>\n<li>York<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","mbww_date_from":"2024-06-15 11:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-06-15 22:00:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>There is a high likelihood that driving conditions will be impacted by spray, standing water and\/or hail, resulting in extended journey times by both car and bus<\/li>\n<li>Possible disruptions to train services may occur<\/li>\n<li>There may be isolated instances of damage to buildings and structures from lightning strikes<\/li>\n<li>Temporary power outages and other service interruptions are expected<\/li>\n<li>Some homes and businesses may experience flooding, potentially causing damage to buildings or structures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12662","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=12662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
