Met Office issues rare 36-hour amber alert as more than 2 months worth of rain to fall The Met Office has issued a rare 36-hour-long amber weather alert for the north west of England, with fast flooding posing a “danger to life”. People in Cumbria have been told to prepare for torrential downpours, with two months' worth of rain expected to fall in the period. The deluge is expected to begin at 6am on Sunday 14, and continue until 6pm on Monday 15. 200mm of rain is expected to fall in some parts of western Cumbria, amounting to double the expected precipitation for the entire month in just 36 hours.For the rest of the region, 100mm is to be expected over the same time scale. The Met Office has warned that this will lead to fast flooding and deep floodwater, with some communities cut off by the deluge. It also expects the weather to cause damage to buildings and cause major travel delays. Power cuts and loss of other services are also said to be “likely”. The Met advises those in Cumbria to prepare appropriately for the amber warning, including avoiding travelling by road during potentially dangerous conditions. They also warn against any attempt to traverse floodwater. Residents have been advised to assemble emergency kits containing essential documents and medications, relocate vehicles to elevated areas, and transfer valuable items to upper floors.
