The Met Office has issued a weather warning for Herefordshire on Thursday, with a narrow band of heavy rain likely to cause issues with flooding.

The Met Office warning, valid for Thursday morning states:

“A narrow band of rain, heavy at times and perhaps briefly intense, will move eastwards late on Thursday morning and into the afternoon, clearing Kent during the evening. 

“10 to 15 mm is likely to fall in a 1 to 2 hour period, with around 20 mm in a few places. With saturated ground, this is likely to lead to a fair amount of surface water on roads and flooding in one or two places. 

“Strong winds will be an additional hazard with gusts of 40-50 mph inland and perhaps briefly 60-70 mph along some exposed coasts, especially in Cornwall, Pembrokeshire, Gwynedd and Anglesey.”
