🌧️ Heads up, Wales! The Met Office has updated its yellow weather warning for heavy rain, affecting vast regions, including parts of southeast England and Wales. This warning is in place from midnight until 2 PM, covering areas like Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, and more.
Expect travel disruptions with longer journey times on the roads, and possible impacts on bus and train services. Unfortunately, flooding of homes and businesses could happen, and there might be some power interruptions too!
The forecast isn’t looking great either: heavy rain, strong winds, and even thunderstorms are expected to roll in through the first part of Wednesday. Rainfall could hit 20-30mm, or even up to 60mm in some spots! Coastal gales along the English Channel are also likely. 🌬️
To minimise disruptions, check road conditions if you’re driving and keep an eye on bus and train schedules. Preparing a flood plan and having an emergency flood kit could be savvy moves if your area is prone to flooding.
Do keep tabs on the latest weather forecasts—it’s essential to stay informed as conditions could change rapidly.
By the afternoon, the skies might brighten up a bit, with a mix of sunshine and heavy, blustery showers. As for tonight, expect a few showers, but many areas might just enjoy some late sunshine.
Stay safe out there and keep those brollies handy! 🌦️☔
