Information on update: Warning area extended to include Gloucester, Tewksbury, Worcester and a greater part of mid-Wales as thunderstorms are or will affect those areas over the next 1-2 hours. A few thundery showers are likely to continue into the first part of the night across the warning area. Locally 15-30 mm of rain could fall in an hour or less, with hail and lightning additional hazards. Showers and storms should die out from the west.
What should I do?
Consider if your location is at risk of flash 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.
If you find yourself outside and hear thunder, protect yourself by finding a safe enclosed shelter (such as a car). Do not shelter under or near trees, or other structures which may be struck by lightning. If you are on an elevated area move to lower ground.
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. For further details see https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings
