The Met Office has urged people across eight regions of the United Kingdom to prepare for potential flooding, power cuts, and travel disruption as heavy rain and strong winds are forecast to hit on Thursday morning. The national weather agency has issued multiple weather warnings, highlighting that southern England is expected to face the worst conditions, with some areas predicted to see up to 50mm of rainfall in a matter of hours.
The advice comes as residents are told to keep an emergency kit ready, with forecasters warning of difficult driving conditions and possible property damage.
