Heavy rain is set to hit Berks, raising concerns about local flooding. Stay prepared and check your property for risks
Berks: The Met Office is sounding the alarm about some heavy rain coming our way. It’s expected to start early Sunday morning and could last into Monday.
They’re saying we might see local flooding in some spots, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on things. The forecast suggests that central and southern England, along with much of Wales, will be affected.
They’re predicting around 10 to 20 mm of rain, but some areas could get hit with 30 to 50 mm, especially on those higher grounds. If that wasn’t enough, there might be another round of heavy rain Sunday evening.
With all this rain, it’s possible some places could see up to 80 mm total. That’s a lot of water, and it could lead to surface water and river flooding.
So, if you live in a flood-prone area, it’s smart to check your property and have a flood plan ready. Make sure to stay updated on road conditions and public transport schedules if you need to travel.
Also, it’s a good idea to prepare for power cuts. Gather some essentials like torches, batteries, and a phone charger. Being ready can make a big difference.
Lastly, keep an eye on the weather updates. Things can change quickly, and it’s best to stay informed about what’s happening in your area.
