Good morning, be careful on the roads today, as there may be lots of queues of traffic.

Also, the weather is set to take a turn, so don’t forget to pack your umbrellas as well as your sunglasses…

Weather

It will be a bright day with plenty of sunshine and temperatures of around 28C by the mid-afternoon. However, earlier in the day, the Met Office has issued a yellow warning of rain and thunderstorms due to all the humidity in the air.

Traffic

There is heavy traffic and a lane closed on the exit slip road on M1 Northbound at J7/A414 Junction 8 Hemel Hempstead due to an accident between a lorry and a car.

Lane one of two remains closed on the slip road whilst emergency services deal with the driver of the car.

The exit slip was completely blocked until around 6.55am and it is affecting traffic in surrounding areas too.

The A1000 High Road in Barnet is closed both ways due to a burst water pipe between Chandos Avenue and Buckingham Avenue. The road is closed past the Travelodge London Whetstone and bus routes 34, 234, 263, 326, 626 and 634 are affected.
