Surrey is bracing for heavy rain and possible flooding this weekend, with the Met Office warning of dangerous conditions and urging residents to prepare.
Surrey: Heavy rain is on the way, and it could get messy. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the whole county. They’re expecting some serious downpours this weekend.
Starting Sunday morning, rain will hit hard. It’ll last until early Monday. We might even see some thundery showers pop up. The Met Office warns that more heavy rain could come later in the day.
This rain isn’t just a nuisance; it could lead to dangerous flooding. The Met Office says there’s a risk of fast-flowing water that could be life-threatening. They’re urging everyone to check if their homes are at risk and to have a flood plan ready.
Driving could be tricky too. Roads might close, and public transport could face delays or cancellations. It’s a good idea to check road conditions and transport schedules before heading out.
On Sunday, we could see 10-20 mm of rain, with some areas getting up to 50 mm. If it keeps pouring into Monday, some spots might even hit 80 mm. That’s a lot of water!
The worst of the rain is expected between noon and 6 PM on Sunday. Areas like Guildford, Woking, and Dorking should prepare for the heaviest showers. Northern parts of Surrey might catch a break with less rain.
And it’s not just Surrey feeling the effects. The whole UK is in for a rough weekend. Storm Éowyn is set to bring strong winds, especially in the north. Surrey will see gusts over 50 mph, which is still pretty blustery.
