The Met Office now says its severe weather warning for Wednesday no longer covers Brighton and Hove – but a new one for today has been issued.
Today’s yellow warning again puts the likelihood of heavy downpours fairly high, but with relatively low impact.
Issued this morning at 9.25am, it’s valid from 1pm to 9pm.
It says: “Heavy showers will break out today, leading to some prolonged downpours. Some locations will miss these but where they do occur, please be aware of possible localised flooding and disruption to travel. Lightning could be an additional hazard.
“Temperatures will rise triggering some heavy downpours. These may well locally produce 15 to 25 mm of rainfall in an hour, bringing the risk of flooding, especially if affecting urban areas.”
