A new weather warning for heavy rain has been issued by the Met Office which could cause further widespread flooding and travel disruption.
The yellow warning has been issued for much of England and Wales, apart from North Wales, parts of the West Midlands and the North West, between 5pm on Thursday and 10am on Friday. The Met Office said 'there is some uncertainty in the details' of this warning, but some areas could see up to 30mm of rain in two to three hours, and perhaps as much as 60mm of rain in four to six hours.
' This is in addition to the yellow rain warning which was previously issued for Thursday, lasting all day and covering much of the North East, stretching from Newcastle upon Tyne south to Skegness. For that warning, the heaviest rainfall is likely to be across the Pennines and North York Moors, the Met Office said, where as much as 100mm of rain could fall.
