"Heavy rain will spread in across southern England late on Wednesday, spreading north-east and likely to persist right through until late Thursday. The Met Office yellow warning for rain covers much of southern and eastern England from midnight on Wednesday night into Thursday, and through until 21:00 BST. Rainfall totals by early Thursday morning could be widely 20-30mm (around 1in), and for some places 30-50mm (up to 2in)."
"Very strong north-westerly winds gusting to 45-55mph (70-90km/h) in both areas are possible, while locally 65mph (105km/h) on the east coast is also possible. While there is still some uncertainty on the intensity of this weather system, the Met Office warns that there is potential for gusts up to 75mph (120km/h) for a small period of time later on Thursday morning and into the afternoon."
A deepening low-pressure system will cross southern England and could be named by European agencies, though the Met Office does not expect to name it. Heavy rain will spread late Wednesday across southern England, move north-east and persist through late Thursday, with yellow rain warnings from midnight to 21:00 BST. Rainfall by early Thursday could widely reach 20-30mm, with some areas 30-50mm and localized higher amounts most likely over Devon, Cornwall and parts of eastern England. Wind warnings cover west Wales, south-west and eastern England with gusts commonly 45-55mph, locally 65mph and a small chance of brief 75mph gusts, risking travel disruption and power cuts.
