A yellow weather warning has been issued as “heavy and persistent rain” could lead to flooding, the Met Office said. The yellow Met Office warning covers parts of London and the south of the UK from 9am until 10pm on Thursday, and says heavy rain falling on saturated ground may lead to some surface water flooding. Meanwhile, the Environment Agency has three flood warnings in place for England, meaning flooding is expected, along with 41 flood alerts where flooding is possible. The yellow weather warning says flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible, while bus and train services will probably be affected with longer journey times and there could be flooding on roads. “An area of low pressure is going to bring heavy and persistent rain to parts of southern England and will be accompanied by some gusty winds at times.
