More storms on the way

If you live in Cumbria or Lancashire, if probably will not be news to you that many areas of both counties have had some dire weather over the past 72 hours. Inkerman Terrace near my home in Whitehaven is one of a number of roads im Cumbria which were closed the other night and thousands of people lost power to their homes for a while.

  • More heavy rain and gale force winds are forecast to sweep across Cumbria later this week.

  • The Met Office is warning the new weather front will cross the county from Friday afternoon into the early hours of Saturday morning. They says it could lead to some localised flooding and people should prepare for potential disruption.

    So be prepared for difficult conditions, especially if you have to travel.

    UPDATE 8.30 PM - BLACK ICE ALERT

    Police have been called to at least five road traffic accidents in Cumbria this evening. Watch out particularly for black ice if you have to drive anywhere.
