UK weather – Met Office issues yellow warnings in three regions as heavy rain set to bring floods chaos today
THE Met Office has issued yellow warnings for three regions as heavy rain looks set to bring flooding chaos today.
Brits can brace for wet weather today as a band of rain pours across some areas which may cause water to rise.
Wet skies are likely to cause havoc for southern parts of England and Wales throughout the morning until 9pm.
Yellow weather warnings have been issued for parts of South Wales, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
Later in the day, heavy rain will likely move across eastern Scotland which has also been issued the advisory notice.
The downpour may cause flooding and disruption to travel until 9pm.

Met Office spokeswoman Nicola Maxey said the south and west of England could possibly experience thunder on Wednesday.
She told Sky News: “Showers could locally be heavy and there’s a chance you might see thunder, mostly in coastal areas to the south and the west,” she said.
“In general, any rain today will continue to push slowly eastwards across the country tomorrow, becoming persistent in the north, with gales in (the) northeast.
“Sunshine and heavy showers following into south and west later.”

Yellow is the least dangerous out of the weather warnings – it means “be aware”.
This potentially means cancelling plans, having to deal with travel delays, road and rail closures, interruption to power and the potential risk to life and property.
The Met Office predicts there could be as much as 50mm in localised areas.
That rain will continue to move East across the day which will also be heavy at times.
The North will also see some rain with the northeast also being hit with wind and gales.
Britain will continue to be hit with rain and strong winds for the rest of the working week, across all areas.
The northeast will also be hit by gales or even “severe gales,” according to the weather forecasters.
Although the miserable conditions will be eased with periods of “drier interludes” for many areas.
The notices come as Brits faced a bumpy start to the working week with fog causing travel chaos for commuters.

It means flooding is likely as well as damage to some buildings and structures from lightning strikes, transport delays, and power cuts.
Brits should brace for more travel chaos as the wild weather will bring disruption and delays to train services throughout the morning.
Spray and flooding on roads will increase journey times to work, with homes and businesses at risk of serious water damage.

Parts of the country will then see further rainfall during the day on Friday, which will start cold and frosty, before heavier, more widespread downpours over the weekend.
And many areas are set to be lashed with rain over the weekend as temperatures turn colder – with train strikes on Saturday set to bring more travel misery.
Aidan McGivern, of the Met Office, said: “Across the rest of the UK a ridge of high pressure is building in, the isobars are opening out and so lighter winds, clear skies and temperatures falling away.
“A few mist and fog patches first thing in places, but also low temperatures, low single figures and in some areas, a touch of air frost could get as low as minus 3C across sheltered parts of northern UK.

“Still some showers in the western fringes and showery rain, which will be slow to clear in the south-east corner where there could be some heavy rain until mid-morning.
“Eventually, it does clear and then blue skies for many except for the west, and specifically the north-west, and the exposed coasts where there will be some further showers coming through, not as lively as we’ve seen at times during the week.”
He said temperatures will remain lower than recently seen during the day, before bands of rain move in from the west on Saturday.
The Met Office website said: “Rain spreading east on Saturday, after a chilly start in the east.
“Rain then lingering across southeast England on Sunday; sunshine and showers, locally heavy, elsewhere.”
