Amber warning

Further detail
Heavy showers will become frequent across the area overnight and into Monday morning. Accumulations of 15-30mm are expected quite widely across the warning area, but where repeated heavy showers fall, a few places could see 40-50mm. This would be sufficient to bring surface water flooding to some locations for the morning rush hour.
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.
