Weather warning for rain

A Met Office yellow weather warning for heavy rain is in force until 3pm on Wednesday 27 December 2017

The Met Office says rain, occasionally heavy, is expected to continue into this afternoon.

Bus and train services will probably be affected whilst spray and flooding on roads will also make journey times longer. Flooding of a few homes or individual properties is also possible.

Wednesday night

Any lingering rain or sleet will ease, with a dry night and clearing skies following.

However it will be cold, with the brisk breeze continuing, and frost likely by dawn. Minimum temperature -2°C.

Thursday

A dry, fine and sunny day is expected. Whilst the recent brisk winds will ease, it will remain cold. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Outlook

A frosty start on Friday, before rain spreads east later.

Further rain early Saturday, with breezy, much milder weather following.

Overnight rain then clears early on New Year's Eve but staying windy with showers likely.
