Residents in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, are being told to prepare for a day of unsettled weather as strong winds and heavy rain arrive on 12 March 2026. The Met Office predicts that wind gusts could reach speeds of up to 47mph during the peak of the storm.
Light rain is expected to begin around 12pm on Thursday with a 60 per cent chance of showers. By 9pm, the weather is forecast to worsen with a 90 per cent chance of heavy rain that will likely continue throughout the night.
The windy conditions are affecting much of London and the South East as a weather system moves across the region. Local people are encouraged to secure loose outdoor items, such as garden furniture, and to leave extra time for travel to avoid delays caused by the weather.
Forecasters say the most intense weather will take place on Thursday before conditions begin to calm down on Friday. These types of windy spells are typical for the United Kingdom during the transition from winter to spring.
