More rain, on already saturated ground, is expected to move north and east to affect parts of the Midlands on Thursday afternoon and, although there remains some uncertainty in the amount of rainfall and timing, 10 to 20 mm may fall quite widely. As a result flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible from rivers. The rain will start to die out from the west after midnight. 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. 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.
