Met Office warns of heavy rain leading to possible flooding - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"There is a chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses and a possibility homes and businesses could be flooded. The forecaster said flooding and spray could lead to difficult driving conditions, some road closures, and some bus and train services delayed or cancelled. There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads."
"Outbreaks of rain will develop through Thursday evening and night, becoming prolonged and heavy throughout Friday, before slowly easing into Saturday morning. Strong easterly winds will accompany this rain. Accumulations of 30-50 mm are expected quite widely, with some places receiving 60-80 mm, and potentially in excess of 100 mm over east-facing hills in southeast Wales. This, following recent wet weather, could lead to some surface water and river flooding impacts."
A yellow weather warning for heavy rain is in place from 6am Friday to 6am Saturday. Outbreaks of rain will become prolonged and heavy Friday, accompanied by strong easterly winds. Widespread accumulations of 30–50 mm are expected, with some locations receiving 60–80 mm and over 100 mm possible on east-facing hills in southeast Wales. The recent wet conditions increase the risk of surface water and river flooding. Power cuts and loss of other services are possible. Flooding and spray could cause difficult driving, road closures, and delayed or cancelled bus and train services. Some communities may become cut off by flooded roads.
