Heavy rain expected during morning rush hour

Hertfordshire Highways has received  a warning from the Environment Agency that heavy rain, thunder and flash flooding is expected during the morning on Friday June 11 and is likely to fall during rush hour.

The Environment Agency has said that it is likely that the more southern parts of Hertfordshire bordering London will see a period of heavy thundery rain between about 6 and 9am. Given the timing of the rainfall and the likelihood of seeing surface water flooding in places, difficult driving conditions may be expected during tomorrow morning’s rush hour.

Drivers are advised to slow down, put their lights on and leave plenty of space between themselves and the driver in front.

Hertfordshire Highways will have crews on standby ready to manage any flash flooding.
