Met Office warn that more heavy rain is on its way

The Met Office have issued another weather warning for heavy rain on the Isle of Wight and risk of flooding.

Valid from midnight tonight (Wednesday) until 3pm on Thursday the warning reads:

Heavy rain will affect southeastern parts of England during Thursday morning, clearing eastwards early afternoon.

20-30 mm of rain is expected fairly widely, with 40 mm in a few places near English Channel coasts.

The ground is fairly wet, and recent fallen leaves may reduce drainage of surface water in some locations.

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 possible
