Heavy rain set to lash Berkshire and North Hampshire

A severe weather warning of heavy rain has been issued from midday today (19 September) across Berkshire and North Hampshire.

The warning is through to midnight and covers much of the South East.

The Met Office says heavy showers may lead to localised flooding and disruption to transport: "A band of rain and heavy, thundery showers will slowly drift east through Sunday before becoming slow moving over the highlighted area later in the day.

"Where these showers become slow moving, 30 to 40 mm of rain could fall in a relatively short time leading to surface water flooding and transport disruption."
