Possible impacts of the adverse conditions will include disrupted journeys by road and rail, road closures, and damage to buildings.
A statement from the Met Office said: “Further areas of heavy rain are possible across parts of southern England late on Wednesday night, and during Thursday morning. 20 to 30 mm could fall within a period of 3 to 6 hours, and perhaps 40 mm overall; should such amounts fall in areas affected by recent heavy rain (especially the rain which fell over parts of the warning area on Wednesday morning), then further impacts might be expected.”
