It means there is a slight chance of power cuts and a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.

Where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services.

Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures and there is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads.

Today there is one flood alert in place for Ginge Brook, for the Steventon area down to and including Sutton Courtenay.
