Brace yourself for a wild weekend! A yellow weather warning is in place with the Environment Agency issuing flood alerts. Heavy rain, fierce gales, and huge waves are set to batter the South and Southeast over the next 48 hours.
Stormy Sunday: Winds to Howl Up to 70mph
Sunday will bring very strong southwesterly winds gusting between 60-70mph, especially over hills, coasts, and near heavy showers. The yellow warning warns of blustery conditions that could cause travel headaches.
Roads Turn Slippery with Fallen Leaves and Debris
The wind itself won’t cause too much damage, but trees still holding onto leaves mean twigs and branches will litter roads. Expect slippery, hazardous driving conditions. Motorists beware!
Heavy Rain Risks Flooding and Travel Disruption
- Up to 35mm of rain may fall in a few hours, mainly Sunday morning.
- Flood alerts are active for coastal areas at risk.
- Localised flooding could hit roads and properties, delaying cars, trains, and buses.
Prepare for a soggy, blustery weekend with disrupted journeys and slippery roads. Keep an eye on weather updates and drive safely!
