Monday:
Remaining unsettled, with further spells of rain or showers at times, separated by drier but cloudy interludes. Maximum Temperature 9 °C.
Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:
Mainly cloudy with some showers on Christmas Day, the showers more localised than on previous days. Remaining unsettled later this week, with further wet and windy conditions prevailing.
John Curtin, Head of Incident Management at the Environment Agency, said: “Our teams are out around the clock to minimise the risks and prepare for flooding, clearing drainage channels and ensuring that flood defences are working properly.
“We would urge people in at risk areas to keep up to date with the latest situation by checking the Environment Agency website and remain prepared for flooding in their area by signing up to receive free flood warnings.
“With a very busy travel weekend coming up, we would also ask that people check their route before travelling, and remember not to drive or walk through flood water.”
Darron Burness, the AA’s Head of Special Operations, said: “The run-up to Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for traffic so any bad weather can have a big impact on the roads. Even if you know your local roads, don’t be complacent, as flash flooding is a real risk with so much water around. Keep tuned to local weather forecasts from the Met Office and travel reports and if it’s bad where you are, only travel if it’s essential. If you do head out, allow more time for your journey as you don’t want to rush in conditions like this.”
