WEATHER WARNING: Essex, Thurrock, Southend-on-Sea

Heavy rain and very strong winds will move northwards across the UK from Tuesday evening onwards through much of Wednesday. This could bring widespread rainfall accumulations of 20-30 mm across many southern and some central parts of England. Accompanying this, very strong winds are likely with gusts of 60-70 mph likely.

The public should be aware of the risk of disruption from flooding given the rain falling onto saturated ground. Strong winds may cause some damage, with disruption due to fallen trees particularly likely.
