A risk of flooding across parts of southern England today due to heavy rain, with weather warnings in force.

Some showery spells of rain around initially, but as the day progresses, heavy and persistent rain will sweep up from the south into southern England.

The most torrential downpours look to be between Hampshire and later Cornwall as rain pushes westwards. Flooding and standing water is a possibility, particularly in time for the early evening commute.

Away from this area it will be cloudy and damp, while rain will continue in the south-west and South Wales into the evening too.

We're keeping an eye on the thundery downpours which could potential spread in southern regions of the UK today.
