The forecasters say that Wednesday could see torrential rain across the region – with up to 2in (50mm) falling. The worst-hit areas of the south of England are likely to be the moors in the south west, which could see more than 3in (50mm to 80mm) of rain that day.
A spokesman said: ‘Some stronger winds may also accompany the rainfall and may add to travelling difficulties across areas higher and more exposed routes.’
The knock-on effects are likely to be some homes and businesses being flooded, and bus and trains being delayed. There may be some power cuts.
