After the glorious day we’ve had today on the Isle of Wight (Friday), there has been another weather warning issued for the weekend.
The Met Office have issued a ‘Be Alert’ weather warning for heavy rain and strong winds on Saturday from 2pm lasting until 3am on Sunday.
It reads:
Rain is expected to develop across south Wales and southwest England during Saturday afternoon, moving slowly east to clear most areas early on Sunday morning. Although the most persistent rain is expected over hills, periods of heavy rain are expected almost anywhere.
15-25 mm is expected quite widely, with some places seeing 40-60 mm of rain, particularly over hills in south Wales and southwest England.
Strong winds will accompany the rain, with gusts of 45-55 mph over hills and around coasts.
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
