The Met Office has issued a new yellow weather warning for rain for 75 areas across the country. The alert will be in place for 24 hours, between 6am on Friday, November 14 and 6am on Saturday, November 15.
According to the National Weather Agency,heavy and prolonged rain during Friday into early Saturday could lead to some flooding and travel disruption. The Met Office explained: "Outbreaks of rain will develop through Thursday evening and night, becoming prolonged and heavy throughout Friday, before slowly easing into Saturday morning. Strong easterly winds will accompany this rain. Accumulations of 30-50 mm are expected quite widely, with some places receiving 60-80 mm, and potentially in excess of 100 mm over east-facing hills in southeast Wales. This, following recent wet weather, could lead to some surface water and river flooding impacts. Although some uncertainty exists in the areas of heaviest rainfall, impacts appear more probable across southeast Wales, the Midlands and parts of southern England."
According to the Met Office, the unsettled conditions could cause power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses. Heavy rainfall may also lead to some damage to the buildings, the Met Office has warned.
It continued: "Spray and flooding leading to difficult driving conditions, some road closures, and some bus and train services delayed or cancelled. There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads."
Residents have been advised to check their properties that could be at risk of flooding. The Met Office explained: "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."
To reduce the risk of travel delays, it's important to stay informed before setting out. Drivers should check current road conditions, while those using public transport should review bus and train timetables, the Met Office has suggested.
At present, there are several yellow warnings of rain issued for Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
