Yellow rain warning
Rain, heavy at times, is expected to develop across southwest England on Friday night and spread northeastward during Saturday before clearing into the North Sea on Saturday night. There is uncertainty in the corridor of heaviest rainfall across England and Wales, but there is potential for 20-30 mm to fall fairly widely with 50 mm possible in places. Over high ground, there is a low chance of 60-80 mm falling. Strong winds may accompany this heavy rain, particularly across eastern parts of England on Saturday night.

Yellow rain warning
Information on update: The likelihood of impacts has increased and the event now named Storm Claudia. Storm Claudia, previously named by the Spanish Meteorological Service, will bring rain north through Thursday evening and night, becoming prolonged and heavy throughout Friday, before slowly easing into Saturday morning. Strong easterly winds will accompany this rain. Accumulations of 30-50 mm are expected quite widely, with some places receiving 60-80 mm, and in excess of 100 mm over east-facing hills in southeast Wales. This, following recent wet weather, is likely to lead to surface water and river flooding impacts. Separate amber warnings have been issued where the likelihood of impacts is higher.

Yellow wind warning
A deepening area of low pressure is expected to cross southeast Britain on Thursday, clearing into the North Sea by Thursday evening. Winds will pick up in association with the low, and as it clears from the east coast, very strong northwesterly winds are likely to develop. Gusts of wind of 45-55 mph can be expected widely, with 65 mph possible near coasts. There is a smaller chance, should the low be deeper, that wind gusts of 65-75 mph may develop for a time very locally, this most likely late morning and into the afternoon.

Yellow wind warning
Information on update: Warning start time brought forward to 3am to cover onset of winds across Kent and Sussex. Further details updated and wind strengths slightly increased. Storm Benjamin is expected to move from the English Channel to the North Sea during Thursday
There is a small chance of gusts of 40-45 mph across parts of Kent and Sussex arriving in the early hours of the morning and up to 55mph in coastal areas here too. Conditions are likely to improve here however, at least for a time, during Thursday morning.
As Storm Benjamin then moves across the southeast of England, stronger northeast to northwest winds are likely to develop. Gusts of 50-60 mph are probable quite widely, with 65-70 mph possible near coasts. There is a smaller chance, should Storm Benjamin be at the stronger end of expectations, that wind gusts in excess of 70mph could develop for a time very locally, this most likely late morning and into the afternoon.
There remains considerable uncertainty over the precise track and intensity of Storm Benjamin, which will significantly impact the details at your location. Near to its centre, a marked lull in winds is likely even during the period of this warning, with a sharp increase then occurring as the centre moves away northeast.

Yellow rain warning
A complex area of low pressure over the mid-Atlantic early this week is expected to move towards the UK whilst deepening, but confidence in the details of its track and intensity as it crosses the UK remains fairly low.
Despite these uncertainties, there is at least a medium likelihood that an extensive, and in places heavy swathe of rain will move into southwestern Britain during Wednesday evening and spread quickly northeast, with totals by early Thursday morning of widely 20-30mm, and for some places 30-50mm. There is a small chance a few places could exceed this, most likely over North Devon and Cornwall and more generally in the east of the highlighted area.
In association with the rain, conditions are expected to turn windy with a chance of gales, initially along southern and eastern coasts, but more widely across southern Britain during Thursday daytime.

Yellow rain warning
Information on update: Reference to Storm Benjamin, and some small changes to areas at greater risk of the higher totals mentioned in further details. Storm Benjamin is expected to cross the south of the UK later Wednesday and early Thursday; confidence in its track has improved compared to yesterday but still remains lower than usual for this type of weather system which leads to continued uncertainty over the corridor of highest rainfall totals.
That said, an extensive and in places heavy swathe of rain will move into southwestern Britain later Wednesday and spread quickly northeast, with totals by early Thursday morning of widely 20-30mm, and for some places 30-50mm. There is a chance a few places could exceed this, most likely over North Devon and Cornwall and also within a broad area encompassing Lincolnshire, Humberside, East Anglia and East Midlands.
In association with the rain, conditions are expected to turn windy with gales, initially along south-eastern coasts, but more widely across southern Britain during Thursday daytime.

Yellow rain warning
Storm Benjamin is expected to bring heavy rain to this area on Thursday. Confidence in the precise track of the storm remains lower than usual for this type of weather system, which leads to continued uncertainty over the location of highest rainfall totals.
That said, totals are expected to widely reach 20-30 mm within the warning area, with some places seeing 30-50 mm. There is also a very low chance of a more developed system bringing very isolated rainfall totals of 60-90 mm.
In association with the rain, conditions are expected to turn windy, with gales initially for coastal areas but becoming more widespread during the morning.
