Impact: Low
Likelihood of impact: Medium

Further details

Outbreaks of light rain on Tuesday morning are expected to turn heavier and more persistent during Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by a strengthening southerly wind; gusts exceeding gale force are possible along exposed south facing coastal districts and over hills. Although wind and rain will likely ease later Tuesday evening, further pulses of persistent and/or heavy rain could continue overnight and through much of Wednesday as the associated weather system becomes slow moving.

20-40 mm is likely fairly widely, with 60-80 mm building up in the wettest spots, these most likely but not exclusively on the south facing slopes of the moors.

Given recent wet weather, and saturated ground in places, this could lead to flooding in a few spots. More generally, difficult driving conditions are likely for the Tuesday evening commute in particular, with delays due to slow traffic and the increased possibility of accidents.

Further details

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. Although some uncertainty exists in the areas of heaviest rainfall, impacts appear more probable across southeast Wales, the Midlands and parts of southern England.
