Yellow weather warning for rain issued for Southern England
We may have avoided the worst of the snow but are now being hit with heavy rain.
Last updated 5th Jan 2025
Most of Southern England have had their Yellow weather warnings for snow removed yesterday, as the region averages temperatures around 12 degrees Celsius.
But not long after, the Met Office have issued a Yellow weather warning for rain in a lot of the region, with floods and disruption to travel expected.
The effected regions include the South Coast, Kent, Essex, Sussex, Dorset, Devon, Bristol and Bath.
The Met Office have said: "Further spells of rain, heavy at times, through the course of Sunday and overnight into Monday morning, will bring the potential for some difficult travelling conditions and perhaps some localised surface water flooding.
"Through this period, a further 15-20 mm of rain could fall quite widely, with perhaps 30 mm in a few locations, this most likely in southwest England. Parts of southeast England are less likely to see heavy rain after early afternoon on Sunday."
