Road and rail hit by flooding as 60mph winds predicted

Following widespread disruption caused by the heavy downpours on Thursday, problems on the roads and railways gradually eased yesterday and most can expect dry conditions today.

However, tomorrow the Met Office is forecasting more heavy rain for the southern and western parts of the country and Wales. A yellow weather warning is in place for strong winds for some of the region from 9am to midnight. Winds will strengthen from west to east with gusts of 50-55 mph likely in places, exceeding 60mph, in the most exposed areas, the Met Office has said.

The continued unsettled weather could potentially bring more misery to communities that have already dealt with flash flooding caused by the heavy rain over the past week.
