Raining cats and dogs

Wet weather and strong winds predicted for this week

The Met Office have issued a couple of Severe Weather Warnings for this week.

They start with a warning of heavy rain and strong winds from 5pm Monday until 9am on Wednesday,

Periods of rain and strong winds will affect southwestern parts of Britain from later on Monday, with the rain becoming particularly heavy at times on Tuesday before clearing during Wednesday morning.

The public should be aware of the risk of localised flooding, perhaps exacerbated by fallen leaves blocking drainage courses.

This is followed by a warning valid from 9pm on Thursday to 6pm on Friday,

A developing frontal system is expected to bring another period of persistent, and at times heavy, rain to parts of the UK later on Thursday and into Friday. Rain is likely to be accompanied by strong and gusty winds.

The public should be aware of the risk of localised flooding, this perhaps exacerbated by fallen leaves blocking drainage courses.
