• Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
• Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
• Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible
• Some interruption to power supplies and other services possible
Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.
Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
Information on update: The western half of the warning area has been removed as the most persistent rain has now cleared. Impact level reduced to low. End time brought forward. Rain will persist across the warning area through much of Tuesday, before gradually clearing to the north later in the day. A further 5-15 mm of rain may accumulate quite widely, and given the saturated ground, this may lead to some further flooding and disruption in places, or slow any recovery from flooding in recent days.
