Heavy rain will spread in across southern England late on Wednesday, spreading north-east and likely to persist right through until late Thursday. The Met Office yellow warning for rain covers much of southern and eastern England from midnight on Wednesday night into Thursday, and through until 21:00 BST. There is a small chance a few places could exceed this, most likely over Devon and Cornwall and more generally in eastern England. The wind will also strengthen with an additional yellow warning from the Met Office covering west Wales and south-west England from 04:00 until 18:00 BST. A separate wind warning has also been issued for eastern England from 09:00 Thursday until 23:59 BST.
