Storm Christoph: Amber warning for heavy rain and flooding across the region until Thursday

The Met Office has upgraded the yellow warning to amber for Nottinghamshire.

Warning period is Tuesday 19 January at 6 am until Thursday 21 January 12 noon.

A spokesperson said:

‘Rain developing during Monday persists into Wednesday and Thursday, this rain associated with Storm Christoph.

‘Rain will be heaviest and most persistent across western facing hills. Over 100 mm of rain is expected across the higher ground with the potential for 150-200 mm of rain in the most exposed areas.

‘The rain will also lead to rapid melting of any remaining lying snow across the higher peaks adding to water entering the river network.

‘Strong winds will accompany the rain at times and may add to travelling difficulties across higher and more exposed routes.’
