Challenging Travel Conditions Continue

Persistent adverse weather has led to hazardous travel conditions nationwide, particularly on rural and commuter routes. Heavy rainfall on saturated ground, in combination with high river levels, has left sections of roads flooded or at risk of flooding, reducing visibility and increasing the likelihood of surface water hazards.

Transport Disruptions

Transport agencies have reported delays and service disruptions on key commuter corridors, with council gritters deployed across counties to improve traction where icy patches remain alongside flood-prone zones. Drivers are urged to slow down, maintain safe stopping distances, and avoid flooded stretches wherever possible.

Emergency Services Response

Emergency services and road maintenance teams continue to patrol affected regions to assist motorists and manage real-time traffic conditions. Response teams are working around the clock to clear debris, manage flooding, and respond to vehicle incidents caused by the adverse conditions.

Remote Working Recommended

In some areas, authorities have recommended remote working and travel only when essential, to ease congestion and free up road space for emergency responders during peak weather disruptions. This approach helps ensure that critical emergency services can reach those in need without delay.
