Weather warning for heavy rain extended

The severe weather warning for heavy rain issued by the Met Office on Friday has now be updated.

It originally ran from Sunday morning, but has now been brought forward a few hours to Saturday night.

Valid from 2200 on Saturday to 2350 on Sunday 30 Aug 2015

Although not all areas will be affected, thundery showers or areas of heavy rain are likely to affect some southern and eastern parts of England late on Saturday evening and on Sunday. The main focus for thundery downpours looks limited to the southeast corner of England overnight but then becomes rather more widespread during Sunday afternoon and evening. Lightning may be an additional hazard.

The public should be aware of the risk of localised impacts from heavy rain and flooding, which may affect travel and some outdoor events.
