Expect storms and heavy rain in southern England this weekend.

It seems like the heavy rains just won't let up in the UK. As we head into Friday, more heavy downpours are expected to sweep across the country. In fact, there are multiple warnings in place throughout the UK, with southern England bracing for strong winds and a chance of thunderstorms. The Environment Agency has even issued flood warnings for certain areas, but thankfully the north-west seems to be spared from the worst of it.

While some areas may see a break from the rain later in the day, the overall forecast is still looking pretty wet for the weekend. And to make matters worse, temperatures are expected to be lower than usual for this time of year. It seems like autumn is really making its presence known.

According to Met Office Chief Meteorologist Neil Armstrong, the Midlands can expect to see some slow-moving showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Unfortunately, this could potentially cause more trouble for communities that are still recovering from recent flooding. An Amber warning has been issued for the areas with the highest risk of impacts.

In addition, there are also Yellow warnings in place for rain, so it's important to stay updated on the latest forecasts for your specific area. Kate Marks, Flood Duty Manager at the Environment Agency, is urging people to be cautious and plan their journeys carefully. With the risk of river and surface water flooding, it's important to listen to the advice of local emergency services and avoid driving through flood water.

As we head into the weekend, the rain is expected to clear out and make way for colder temperatures. However, a few showers may still linger in northern areas. But the real concern comes with an approaching low pressure system from the southwest, which is expected to bring more rain and potential impacts on Sunday and Monday. So let's stay safe and keep an eye on the weather updates.
