The Met Office are warning of more heavy rain and gales this Wednesday.

The rain is expected to spread quickly northeastwards across southwest and parts of southern England, with rainfall totals expected to be 10-20 mm, but as much as 30-40 mm over some south facing coasts and hills.

South or southwesterly gales with gusts 50-60 mph may also accompany the rain.

With ground already saturated over much of this area, the public should be aware of the risk of further localised flooding.

The return to wet and windy weather is due to another active Atlantic frontal system and deepening area of low pressure followed by active troughs.

The more persistent rain should clear eastwards later on Wednesday and overnight, but heavy showers will follow.
