This weekend, the southern regions of England are in for a bit of a washout as the Met Office has issued 18-hour yellow weather warnings. It's going to be a very wet Sunday for millions of people, especially following a freezing night where temperatures dropped as low as -6°C in some parts of Scotland.
The warnings cover the south east and south west areas of England, with the one in the south west lasting until midnight on Sunday and the south east warning starting at 3pm on Sunday and ending at 9am on Monday. This could potentially cause chaos during rush hour on the M25 and railways.
According to Greg Dewhurst, a spokesperson for the Met Office, the day is expected to be quite unsettled due to an area of low pressure moving across the southern part of the UK. He warned of heavy rain and strong winds, with the possibility of up to 60mm of rain falling.
Today, there will be wet and windy conditions across southern England. The weather warning in Kent will remain in place until Monday morning. Many people woke up to frost this morning, as it was a chilly night. Dewhurst advised caution for those traveling through southern counties on Sunday, as the rain could cause localized flooding.
The weather warnings state that rain will move eastward across England on Sunday morning, persisting throughout the day and slowly easing later on. 15-25mm of rainfall is expected in most areas, with up to 40-60mm in Dartmoor and Exmoor. There is a small chance that these higher accumulations could occur in lower-lying parts of Devon and Cornwall as well.
In addition, rain is expected to arrive in Sussex and Kent on Sunday afternoon, lasting through the night and clearing on Monday morning. Similar to other areas, 15-25mm of rainfall is likely with some places receiving up to 40mm. With the ground already saturated, there is a risk of flooding and potential disruptions.
Overall, it's important for people in the southern regions of England to be prepared for the wet and windy conditions this weekend. Stay safe and watch out for any potential flooding in your area.
