Severe Weather Warnings: Rain

Date

   11:00, 23.05.2024

valid from

until

Region: Orkney & Shetland

Warning

An area of heavy rain is expected to move northwestwards across the warning area during late Wednesday afternoon and persist overnight into Thursday morning, before turning somewhat lighter and patchier. Through this period, 20-30 mm of rain may accumulate quite widely, but some north-facing high ground may see well in excess of 60 mm of rain. Strong and gusty northerly winds may exacerbate any impacts from the rain. 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 may bring some disruption to western and northern Scotland.

Warning

Persistent rain will become more fragmented in nature during Thursday, but at the same time, some heavy, slow-moving bursts may develop across parts of southern and central Scotland. A further 10-20 mm, and in some places 30-40 mm is probable, across areas which have already seen between 20 mm and very locally 60 mm during this event. What should I do?

Region: Northern Ireland

Warning

An area of heavy rain is expected to move westwards into eastern parts of Northern Ireland during Wednesday. Whilst many areas may only see modest amounts of rain, there is the potential for parts of Antrim in particular to see 30-50 mm of rain quite widely and perhaps in excess of 60-80 mm over windward facing higher ground. Rainfall should tend to ease later on Thursday morning. Strong north to northwest winds, perhaps gusting to 50 mph at times, will likely exacerbate any impacts from the rainfall. 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.

Region: Wales

Warning

An area of rain will continue to affect northwest England, parts of northeast England, parts of the north Midlands and north Wales. Rain will be heavy and persistent in places, particularly over north-facing hills and coasts, before easing during Thursday morning. Many places will see 30-40 mm of rain, while a few areas may receive 60-80 mm (including what has fallen so far). There is also a chance that a few upland locations, chiefly in the separate Amber warning area, could see much higher totals, in the order of 100-150 mm. 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.
