More heavy rain and strong winds for the Isle of Wight

Storm Angus might have passed through the Isle of Wight without much damage, but more heavy rain and strong winds are on the way with a yellow (be alert) weather warning issued for the Isle of Wight, Southampton and Hampshire.

Valid from 03:00 to 23:55 on Monday 21st November 2016, the warning reads,

On Monday a further broad area of heavy, persistent rain will extend northwards across southwest England and Wales. The heaviest rain is expected to reach southwest England in the early hours of Monday and to reach north Wales by around the middle of the day. Although the more persistent rain should clear from southwest England into the afternoon, heavy and possibly thundery showers are likely to follow.

Strong northeasterly winds will also develop for a time giving gusts of 40-50 mph.

Please be aware of the possibility of localised flooding and disruption to transport.
Some 20-30 mm of rain may fall in a 3-6 hour period in places, with as much as 40-60 mm possible locally through the whole of Monday. The greatest risk of disruption due to flooding is expected to be across parts of southwest England, Devon in particular, where the ground has been left very wet from Saturday night’s rain. A separate Amber warning will cover this aspect.
