Heavy rain could bring flooding and travel disruption to parts of the UK on Wednesday.

A yellow rain warning is in place across south-west England and Wales from midnight until noon.

The Met Office has warned that homes and businesses could be flooded, with some interruption to power supplies and other services.

Bus and train services may also be affected, leading to longer journey times.

Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said the rain will be a cause for concern “because the ground is saturated in places”.

“That is likely to cause some issues, so there is a warning in place,” he said.

Temperatures will be mild at between 11C-13C across most of the country on Wednesday.

However, temperatures will then drop to between 7C-10C on Thursday as wind from the north Atlantic sweeps away the rain clouds.

Earlier in the week, the weather will be dry and fairly cloudy on Monday night, with a band of rain spreading south-eastwards through the day on Tuesday.
