If you’re planning to hang out your washing at the weekend, it won’t be on Saturday.
The Met Office have issued a weather warning for the Isle of Wight for all day Saturday, starting at 6am and running until 11.55pm.
It reads,
Heavy and sometimes persistent rain is likely to affect parts of southern England, particularly the southwest, along with parts of south Wales on Saturday. 20-30 mm of rain is expected quite widely across the warning area with locally 40-60 mm possible on south-facing slopes. In addition, southerly gales are expected with gusts of 40-50 mph inland but locally 60 mph on south-facing coasts. The rain and gales are expected to clear from the west during the evening.
As this rain will be falling on near-saturated ground, please be aware of the risk of localised flooding and perhaps some disruption to travel.
