A weather warning for rain has been issued by the Met Office for Thursday, with up to 7cm of rain possible.
the Met Office says as the ground is already saturated, this could lead to some surface water flooding.
The warning, issued this morning, is in place along the south coast from Cornwall to Sussex from 9am to midnight on Thursday.
It says: “A deepening area of low pressure will migrate northeastwards across England and Wales on Thursday.
“Whilst the exact track is uncertain, rain will become persistent and heavy through the day, before clearing to the north through the evening and night.
“Accumulations of 20-40 mm are expected fairly widely, in some places falling in just a few hours, with the potential for 40-70 mm in a few isolated spots, this most likely across parts of the southwest England.
“Given the saturated ground, this may lead to some surface water flooding.”
