The Met Office has announced a Yellow weather warning for Sunday in expectation of “A spell of persistent and at times heavy rain across the South West of England.”
What to expect
- Spray and flooding on roads probably making for difficult driving conditions and longer journey times
- Bus and train services probably affected with some journey times taking longer
- Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible
Further details
During Sunday there is the potential for a developing weather system to track across southern UK, which is likely to bring a swathe of persistent and at times heavy rain, as well the potential for strong winds.
Whilst there remains some uncertainty in the precise track and intensity of the system, and thus the location of the heaviest, most persistent rainfall, many places could see 20-30mm, with up to 50mm possible in some isolated spots.
With strong winds also forecast in places, and recent heavy rain, drains and culverts blocked by debris could mean impacts in places which would not normally be affected by these rainfall amounts.
