Weather warning update from TDC

The Met Office has issued further yellow warnings for rain covering both today (Thursday 29th January) from 12:00 to 23:59 and tomorrow (Friday 30th) from 12:00 until 06:00 on Saturday morning (31st).

The level of rain expected is nowhere near the levels experienced with Storm Charna, but as it is falling on saturated ground there is a greater likelihood of localised flooding.

Please pass this message on to your communities, encourage preparedness measures such as moving parked vehicles to higher ground, and caution, particularly around driving through floodwater which required multiple fire service attendances over the past week.

We at TDC are continuing to liaise around the clock with multi-agency colleagues from the emergency services, DCC, Environment Agency, Met Office and others, and will keep you updated with any developments.
