The Met Office have issued a yellow ‘be alert’ weather warning for heavy rain this coming weekend.
Valid from 9pm on Friday to 3pm on Saturday, the warning reads:
Another area of rain will cross the UK starting from Friday evening, before it clears to the east during Saturday.
Some of that rain, especially in southwestern parts of the UK, is likely to be heavy at times, and follows many weeks of above-average rainfall in this area.
The associated weather system should clear to the east during Saturday afternoon, with more showery conditions following.
10 to 15mm is expected widely in the warning area, with a few places near southern coasts and over high ground seeing 20 to 30mm, with a chance that the southern slopes of Dartmoor and the hills of southwest Wales could see 40 to 50mm.
What to expect
- Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
- Delays or cancellations to train and bus services are possible
- Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely
