Frequent showers and some longer spells of rain, heavy at times, are likely during Thursday. 5 to 15 mm is likely to fall widely in a few hours, with up to 20 mm in a few places. Given saturated ground, this may lead to some flooding and transport disruption. The heaviest of the rain will clear northeastwards by late afternoon. What Should I Do? 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. 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.
