Spells of heavy rain are expected during Monday night through to Tuesday morning. 15-25 mm of rain is expected to build up widely across the area with a few areas potentially seeing 30-40 mm and as much as 50 mm over some hills. 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.

Heavy rain likely to lead to some transport disruption and possible flooding in places.
