Heavy rain falling on saturated ground may lead to some surface water flooding on Thursday: UPDATED

Effective: Thu January 1, 1970, 1:00 AM
Expires: Thu January 15, 2026, 11:00 PM

Information on update: Warning area expanded across more of the Midlands, SW England and eastern England, and text updated to mention winds. Outbreaks of rain will spread northeastwards during Thursday, becoming persistent and heavy at times, before clearing to the northeast through the evening and night. Accumulations of 20-30 mm are expected fairly widely, in some places falling in just a few hours, with the potential for 40-50 mm in a few isolated spots, this most likely across parts of southern England. Given the saturated ground, this may lead to some surface water flooding. Rain will also be accompanied by strengthening winds through the afternoon and evening, particularly across southern and southeast England where gusts around 50 mph may be possible along some exposed coasts.

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.
