Heavy rain likely bringing some travel disruption on Thursday and possible flooding. Heavy rain is expected to arrive late on Wednesday and then persist for for a good deal of Thursday. Whilst some snow is expected to fall overnight across higher ground, this should soon turn to rain which will then steadily thaw lying snow. 30-50 mm of rain is likely to fall widely with potential peaks over hills of 70-90 mm. Rain will be accompanied by strong southeasterly winds. What should I do? 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.
