There's a warning of flooding and travel disruption as a yellow weather alert is issued for Dorset, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and West Sussex.

Heavy rain's expected to cause problems with some areas seeing 45mm in just a few hours.

The Met Office warning is in place between 2am tomorrow (Thursday 8th February) until 6am on Friday.

A spokesperson from the Met Office said: "A couple of bands of rain, heavy in places, will push northwards across southern England and south Wales during Thursday and early on Friday.

"Whilst a drier interlude is likely for a time during the middle part of Thursday, many places in the warning area will see 15-25 mm of rain accumulate during this period. However, some higher ground areas of southern England and south Wales could see as much as 35-45 mm of rain."
