Not quite:

"The Met Office is forecasting further unsettled conditions during the remainder of Thursday and into Friday and Flash messages will be issued as necessary. However, there is particular concern that a slow-moving area of low pressure will bring more persistent and heavy rain to parts of the UK over the weekend. Rainfall amounts of 15 to 25 mm are expected quite widely across England and Wales, but there is a risk that local totals could reach 50 mm, with the wettest conditions most likely later on Saturday across eastern England."

15-25mm is less than we've had in the heavy rain recently, and that 50mm's predicted to happen somewhere else. Where my mum and dad are on holiday, funnily enough. So they might come and visit
