The Met office has issued a weather alert for strong winds and heavy rain for parts of southern and eastern areas of Britain.
It has been indicated that “strong winds may cause travel disruption and some damage across eastern England on Thursday”, particularly on the east coast.
The office has also indicated “heavy rain for southern and eastern parts of Britain” with it most likely in “North Devon and Cornwall”.
“A complex low pressure over the mid-Atlantic early this week is expected to move towards the UK whilst deepening, but confidence in the details of its track and intensity as it comes across the UK remains fairly low,” the Met Office said when detailing the extent of the heavy rain.
“Despite these uncertainties, there is at least a medium likelihood that an extensive, and in places heavy swathe of rain will move into southwestern Britain during Wednesday evening and spread quickly northeast.”
The office added that “totals by early Thursday morning of widely 20-30mm” as well as other areas which could see between 30-50mm.
“There is a small chance a few places could exceed this, most likely over North Devon and Cornwall and more generally in the east of the highlighted area,” the Met office further said.
“In association with the rain, conditions are expected to turn windy with a chance of gales, initially along southern and eastern coasts, but more widely across southern Britain during Thursday daytime.”
