Heavy rain will bring transport chaos to the south of England - with the Met Office warning of severe weather from midnight tonight until noon on Saturday. Forecasters are warning that southern England is now set for a taste of the devastating floods that have hit the north in recent weeks. Parts of the North continue to be hit hard by the bad weather with the village of Swinton in South Yorkshire experiencing a tornado. Thunderstorms and torrential rain are set to sweep across parts of England and Wales. Much of the area is to be hit with up to 90mm of rain tomorrow - risking flash floods.
The Met Office are predicting an average rainfall of between 20mm and 30mm in many areas, with widespread thunderstorms. But localised downpours of 90mm are likely across London and the South-East which the Met Office believes could disrupt transport and hit outdoor events. There is a 60 per cent probability of disruption to transport services, it said. (Daily Mail)
