The warning is in effect from 5 am today and will continue until midnight.
Following the disruptive impacts of Storm Ciaran and the ongoing recovery efforts, more rainfall is expected in the area. This additional rain may hamper the attempts by Southern Water to restore water supply to the approximately 18,000 New Forest homes that remain without water due to flooding and the shutdown of a Southern Water processing plant.
As a result of the weather warning, travellers should be prepared for potential disruptions, including longer journey times due to spray and flooding on roads. Bus and train services within the city may also be affected. Additionally, some homes and businesses may experience flooding.
Tonight’s forecast indicates that showers or spells of rain, mainly across southern areas, may continue, with local heavy and possibly thundery showers gradually clearing away southeastwards.
Residents and commuters are advised to stay updated with the latest weather forecasts and take necessary precautions during this period of adverse weather conditions.
