Tomorrow (Thursday), the wet and windy conditions may cause travel disruption, flooding, power cuts and damage to buildings within the alert areas, according to the Met Office. A yellow weather warning for rain covers most of southern England, the east Midlands, parts of Wales and Yorkshire and is in place all of Thursday until 9pm. Some areas, particularly North Devon, Cornwall and in the east of England, could exceed this amount of rain, the Met Office added. For the majority of the yellow alert area, gusts of up to 55mph are expected with 65mph possible near coasts, the Met Office said. In an online forecast, Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern said some “very unsettled weather” caused by low pressure was expected from tonight into Thursday.
