The MET Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain, effective from midnight to noon today, cautioning residents about potential flooding and disruptions throughout Wednesday morning. The advisory highlights that heavy rainfall may lead to significant flooding, affecting homes, businesses, and the overall flow of daily activities.

Commuters are advised to prepare for extended journey times as spray and flooding on roads are expected to impede traffic. The weather conditions could also impact public transportation, with bus and train services likely to experience delays, making it challenging for passengers to reach their destinations on time.

Additionally, the yellow warning underscores the possibility of some interruptions to power supplies and other essential services, posing inconveniences to the affected communities. A number of homes and businesses might face flooding, urging residents to take necessary precautions.

Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and advise the public to stay informed about the latest weather updates. They recommend adjusting travel plans accordingly and preparing for the potential impacts of the heavy rain to minimise disruptions to daily life.
