The Met Office has issued a weather warning for parts of Herefordshire, with heavy rain set to cause some issues over the coming 24-48 hours.

Herefordshire is currently on the northern boundary of the warning.

The warning currently covers areas including Hereford and the south of the county, with places such as Leominster and Bromyard not covered by the warning.

The Met Office warning for Herefordshire says:

“Some parts missing the worst, but heavy rain becomes more extensive Wednesday night and especially Thursday, with some flooding impacts.

“Not all areas will be affected, but scattered heavy showers on Wednesday night are expected to merge into longer spells of heavy, perhaps thundery rain overnight and through Thursday. 

“Where heavy downpours occur, 20-40 mm are possible within an hour or two.

“”Over a longer period a few places could see more than 50-60 mm, possibly even as much as 80 to 100 mm if repeated batches of heavy rain affect the same locations – this perhaps more likely during the second half of Thursday.”
