Met Office issues new London weather warning as streets could be flooded

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the capital this Friday (October 20). The warning lasts from am up until 8pm, and ‘there is a chance that a period of heavy rainfall, on top of recent rain, could bring some disruption on Friday.’

Some people should expect flooding at home, as well as adverse driving conditions which could lead to road closures. The weather could also lead to reduced public transport services.

The weather warning covers the South East, all of England’s east coast, and the vast majority of Scotland - some which have a red weather warning. This means rain could be so intense that it poses a threat to life.
