Disruptions anticipated in UK segments due to forthcoming heavy rain, as per Met Office's precipitation alert
The Met Office has issued a flood warning for parts of southern Scotland, with the flood warning in effect from 3am to 10am on Monday, September 1. The affected regions and local authorities include Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Borders, East Ayrshire, and South Lanarkshire.
As the weather can change quickly, the Met Office recommends being prepared for potential changes. To stay safe during flooding, it is essential to take precautions.
Firstly, check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, prepare a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. The flood plan should include steps to protect your property, while the emergency flood kit should contain essential items such as food, water, and medication.
When it comes to valuables, it is best to store them up high to avoid water damage. If you are driving, check road conditions and adjust your travel plans if necessary. Spray and flooding on roads are likely, making journey times longer. It is advisable to park your car outside the flood zone to avoid any potential damage.
To stay safe during flooding, it is also important to turn off gas, water, and electricity supplies if necessary. Check the flood advice in your area for specific instructions.
The Met Office also advises checking mobile phone devices and charging them in case of power outages. It is essential to stay connected during emergencies.
In Germany, the main weather service active for forecasts, including potential changes for Thursday, September 1, 2022, is the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). Widely, 15-30mm of rain is expected, with some places seeing 40-50mm of rain where showers are particularly heavy. This amount of rain could bring surface water flooding for the morning rush hour, potentially triggering travel disruption, affecting bus and train services.
Stay safe and be prepared during flood warnings. Follow the advice from the Met Office and the DWD to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you.
