Met Office Issues Yellow Weather Warning for Rain in West Sussex

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain, affecting West Sussex this Sunday. The warning, which covers areas from Chichester to Worthing, will be in effect from midnight until 11:59 PM on Sunday.

The forecast includes periods of heavy rain, which could cause significant disruption to travel and daily activities.

According to the Met Office, the rain is likely to lead to hazardous driving conditions due to spray and possible flooding, with some rural communities potentially becoming temporarily isolated by waterlogged roads. There is also the possibility of delays or cancellations to public transport services, such as trains and buses. Additionally, homes and businesses might experience flooding, with a risk of damage to properties.

The warning follows a separate yellow weather alert for thunderstorms issued earlier, which remains in place until 8 PM tonight. While many areas are expected to stay dry, areas experiencing thunderstorms may face lightning strikes, gusty winds, hail, and heavy rainfall. The Met Office advises the public to stay updated and take precautions.
