Yellow Weather Alert for Milton Keynes, 19th - 21st January
The Met Office has issued a Yellow weather warning for the South East and Central regions between Tuesday and Thursday this week. High levels of rainfall are predicted for Milton Keynes which may cause localised flooding especially where the ground is already saturated.

If you are out and about on the road network make sure you drive to the conditions and avoid flooded sections of the road. The water may be deeper than you think. Milton Keynes Council Highways duty officers will be checking the flooding hotspots on the road network and may close roads if they consider them unsafe for vehicles to pass through. If you see a Road Closed or Flood sign please do not ignore it. The road will be closed for safety reasons.
