What to expect
What should I do?
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.
Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
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.

Coverage shows valid readings received; the reporting interval is unknown, so a percentage is unavailable. Gaps may understate rainfall and are not treated as dry weather.
Water fills show relative rainfall, not flood risk. Hourly cards use rainfall intensity; 24 hours uses recorded wet-day percentiles; longer totals use estimated seasonal pace for the elapsed period. Grey means there is insufficient coverage or history for a comparison.
Choose a layer to see recorded events alongside the chart.
Explore recorded river changes and compare events after drier or wetter weeks.
Comparisons use complete past observations, including events with little rise. Ground wetness is estimated from preceding rainfall.
