In the Met Office has raised the alarm over the persistent, heavy and possibly thundery rain across the south-west England and the parts of the south Wales. The warnings was spread to the North-East Scotland for Saturday and Sunday. The Orkneys and Shetland could face spells of torrential rain and winds of up to 50 mph. The United Kingdom was assuming a particular desolate weekend-wise. It is struggling lukewarm peak in the traditional end of the summer season. Base to the to the AA, ” up to 16m vehicles are expected on the roads as people travel to and from holidays, as well as the Reading and Leeds music festivals and the Notting Hill carnival. While many roadworks have been completed or put on hold, traffic jams seem inevitable, with parts of the M25 west of London and the A303 through Hampshire, Wiltshire and Somerset, cited as likely trouble spots.” The majority operators reduce there services then this is better for all rail travelers. The Network Rail says “there will be more trains than over the same weekend last year.” The Channel tunnel shuttle train company, Eurotunnel “promise to run a full service even if a threatened strike by French workers goes ahead on Saturday.” This is good, it is the way how to prevent accidents. It is better to announce early. People should be updated for the news that the officials say. People should listen, read and ask on the news that happening in the country especially in the weather conditions.
