英國南部面臨強降雨與洪水威脅
英國氣象局已對英格蘭南部和威爾斯地區發布了黃色天氣警報,警告將從1月26日(星期日)上午8點持續至1月27日(星期一)凌晨6點。此次警報是因為預計將有一波強降雨影響英格蘭中部和南部地區,隨後還會有雷陣雨,廣泛地區預計降雨量將達到10-20毫米,高地地區則可能達到30-50毫米。在某些地區,特別是面向南或東南的斜坡地區,降雨量可能高達80毫米,這引發了對局部地表水和河流洪水的擔憂。
環境署已經對英格蘭南部部分地區發布了超過100個洪水警告,表示這些地區「預計」會發生洪水,同時還有超過260個洪水警報,表示這些地區「可能」發生洪水。暴漲的河流正在被密切監測,部分河流有決堤的風險。最近的潮濕天氣,包括本週早些時候的融雪,進一步增加了洪水風險,特別是在低窪地區。
英國氣象局建議居民為可能的交通中斷做好準備,包括駕駛條件惡劣、道路封閉以及可能的停電。公共交通服務,如巴士和火車,也可能面臨延誤或取消。居民被敦促檢查他們的房產是否面臨洪水風險,並準備好應急防洪包。該機構還警告,快速流動或深層的洪水在某些地區可能對生命構成威脅。
此次天氣狀況發生在上週末的降雪和凍雨之後,這些天氣現象導致了大範圍的交通中斷,包括多個機場跑道關閉和交通網絡的延誤。預計從週一開始,氣溫將再次下降,帶來大範圍的霜凍和結冰威脅,特別是在英格蘭北部地區。這些地區的農村社區可能會被雪封鎖,進一步的交通延誤和停電也可能發生。
公眾被建議隨時關注天氣警報,並在此不穩定的天氣期間採取必要的預防措施以確保安全。
