The Met Office have issued a weather warning for heavy rain and strong winds on the Isle of Wight this Friday (20th October).
The warning is valid from 6am and running all day until 8pm.
What to expect
- There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings
- Spray and flooding is likely to lead to difficult driving conditions and there is a small chance of some road closures
- Where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays to or cancellations of public transport services
The warning reads:
An area of low pressure arriving from the south could bring a 6-12 hour period of heavy rain to parts of southeast England.
Confidence is currently very low for precise details, but there is a chance of 30-50mm widely across this area and a small chance of as much as 75 mm in a few places, these most likely over parts of Sussex, Kent and Essex. On top of preceding rain, this is thought to be sufficient to cause disruption.
Strong easterly winds may affect eastern coastal areas too, with some large waves and dangerous coastal conditions developing in places.
You can follow the weather warning on the Met Office Website.
