The Met Office has also warned of a “slight chance of power cuts and loss other services to some homes and businesses” and said that “where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services”, urging people to prepare in advance.
Advice issued reads: “Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
“Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.”
National Highways has urged drivers to be cautious on the roads tomorrow, as strong winds and heavy rain decrease visibility and tyre grip.
