A full explanation of why a shower of rain after a long dry period can be as dangerous icy conditions. Keep safe out there. 🚙👍

On Sunday we are due some rain around lunch time. After weeks of extremely dry weather, this can cause something known as the ‘Florida Ice Effect’, which can make roads incredibly slippery.

It happens in the first part of a rain shower when the oils, dust, sludge and grime all get wet and brought to the surface by the rain, creating a sheen on the roads which makes driving similar to driving on ice. This can make it much easier to suddenly lose control of your vehicle and spin out.

In the past, we have seen an increase in the number of road traffic collisions occurring during these periods, so we wanted to publish this warning beforehand.

If we do suddenly experience rain, take extra caution if you’re out on the roads. Drive or ride safely and be a considerate road user; ensuring that you do not travel too close to other road users, and allow extra distance for braking.
