Spells of heavy rain, combined with strong winds at times, will move across northern England over the weekend and into early Monday. The heaviest rain is expected during Sunday with 30-50 mm falling widely and the potential for peaks of 80-100 mm over hills. Milder conditions will also result in the thaw of lying snow. 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. 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. 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.
