Heavy rain warning issued across the south

Another weather warning has been issued for heavy rain across the south of England for tomorrow (Thursday 7th December).

A yellow Met Office weather warning has been put in place between 11am and 10pm for Dorset, Salisbury, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and West Sussex.

We are being told some flooding is possible, along with delays on the roads and rails as 30mm of rain's expected to fall in just a few hours in some areas.

Earlier this week (Monday 4th December), forecasters put out a yellow weather warning for heavy rain after it was predicted that 60mm of rain could fall across the region.

What to Expect

• Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer.
• Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer.
• Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely.

In a statement, the Met Office said: "A band of rain will move eastwards across the area during Thursday before clearing during the evening.

"Rain will be heavy at times, especially over hills, with 20-30mm likely in places. Rain will be accompanied by strong south-easterly winds."
