Buckinghamshire have been told to brace themselves for heavy rain today. (October 21st).
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the South East, London, the East of England and parts of the Midlands and South West.
It covers all of our area, from 3am until 2pm the same day.
Forecasters have said some homes, particularly in coastal areas, may be at risk of flooding.
Spray and flooding on roads may increase journey times during the morning rush hour, with bus and train services also set to be affected.
A Met Office forecaster said:
"Heavy rain will move north during the early hours of the morning and persist through the peak morning travel period, before clearing northeastwards.
"10-15 mm of rain will fall widely, with as much as 30 to 50 mm in a few locations.
"With much of this falling in a short period, around 3 to 6 hours, some surface-water flooding is likely in places, leading to disruption to travel.
"The rain may be accompanied by gales across parts of southeast England, perhaps most likely towards the Kent and Sussex coasts."
TVP Aylesbury Vale also posted on Facebook last night:
The Met Office have warned of heavy rain set to hit Aylesbury tomorrow (3am) until 2pm.
An advanced weather warning has been issued.
