A yellow weather warning has been issued for Merseyside<\/p>\n
A yellow weather warning has been put in place as the Met Office warns of “heavy and persistent rain”.<\/p>\n
Following a week of glorious sunshine, grey skies are once again on the horizon for Merseyside as the deluge is predicted to sweep across the North West.<\/p>\n
A spell of heavy and persistent rain is expected to move north across western Britain throughout tomorrow, April 15, at 12pm until 12pm on Wednesday, April 16, the Met Office said.<\/p>\n
While there is some uncertainty in where the heaviest rain will fall, 20-40mm of rain is expected.<\/p>\n
Some places may see as much as 50-75mm of rain during this period, gradually building up in the west following rainfalls predicted later today, April 14.<\/p>\n
In parts of the east, the rain is expected to fall in shorter periods, with heavy showers and thunderstorms being more slow-moving across the area.<\/p>\n
Affected areas include Merseyside, Cheshire West and Chester, and Halton<\/a>. Wales is also expected to bear the brunt of the deluge, with 22 local authorities being given weather warnings.<\/p>\n Weather<\/a> forecasters have warned that “heavy rain may result in some transport disruption and flooding in places on Tuesday and Wednesday.”<\/p>\n People have been warned to check if their property could be at risk of flooding, and consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.<\/p>\n People may also want to prepare for power cuts, with torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items, the Met Office said.<\/p>\n Drivers are encouraged to give themselves the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending travel plans if necessary.<\/p>\n Temperatures dropped in Merseyside yesterday <\/a>after highs of around 20C last week. These numbers are expected to drop even further as the week goes on, falling to a wintry 12C tomorrow and 11C on Wednesday, coinciding with the predicted heavy rains.<\/p>\n Get all the big headlines, pictures, analysis, opinion and video on the stories that matter to you by signing up to our daily and breaking newsletter<\/a>.
