A yellow weather warning has been issued for various areas of the South East which includes Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.

It has been revealed that heavy rain ‘will bring the potential for some flooding and disruption to transport’ between 5pm on Thursday, September 26 to 10am on Friday, September 27.

A comment from the Met Office states: “There is some uncertainty in the details, but some locations may see up 20-30 mm of rain in two to three hours and perhaps 40-60 millimetres in four to six hours.

“Lightning and strong, gusty winds may be additional hazards, especially in southwest coastal areas.

“Given the recent very wet weather, this will bring the potential for further flooding and transport disruption.”

What can residents in the Thames Valley expect?

  • There is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses
  • There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings
  • Where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services
  • Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
  • There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads

This comes after parts of the UK have been battered by heavy rain in recent days, with numerous areas of Buckinghamshire being impacted by floods.

These includes towns and villages such as Amersham, Aylesbury, the Chalfonts, Chesham, Great Missenden, High Wycombe and Princes Risborough.
