Yellow rain warning
Spells of rain, some heavy, will affect southern parts of England during Wednesday and overnight into Thursday, whilst some snow is also likely over higher ground, chiefly during Wednesday night.
10-20 mm of rain is expected quite widely with a few places near the south coast seeing 20-30 mm and perhaps as much as 50 mm over Dartmoor.
Strong east to northeasterly winds will accompany the rain and/or snow, which could exacerbate impacts in places. Large waves could affect some east-facing coasts, especially along the English Channel.

Yellow rain warning
Information on update: The warning area has been expanded eastwards across southern England whilst the validity period has been delayed. Peak rainfall accumulations across Dartmoor have also been increased slightly. Outbreaks of rain are expected to become persistent later on Monday, especially overnight, before gradually clearing during Tuesday, perhaps not clearing the northeast of the warning area til Tuesday evening. Accumulations of 10-20 mm are possible fairly widely, with perhaps as much as 40-60 mm over Dartmoor. Given saturated ground following recent rain, there is a chance this may leading to some flooding and disruption in places.

Yellow rain warning
Whilst there is some uncertainty, outbreaks of rain may become persistent on Monday, especially later in the day and overnight, before gradually easing and clearing into Tuesday. Accumulations of 10-20 mm are possible fairly widely, with perhaps as much as 30-50 mm over Dartmoor. Given saturated ground following recent rain, there is a chance this may leading to some flooding and disruption in places.

Yellow rain warning
Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, are expected to arrive across Cornwall on Friday morning and move northeastwards across other parts of southwest England by afternoon, followed by showers during Friday evening and overnight into Saturday morning. 10 to 20 mm rainfall is likely widely, with up to 30 mm possible over the moors and perhaps west Cornwall. Falling on saturated ground, this may lead to some flooding and disruption. Strong winds are also likely in places.

Yellow rain warning
Information on update: Rainfall amounts are expected to be slightly lower and the impact level has been decreased. The warning end time has been extended slightly later whilst the eastern boundary has also been adjusted. A band of rain will arrive across Cornwall on Thursday afternoon then move northeast across the warning area through the evening and clearing during early Friday. The rain is only likely to last for a few hours in any one location but will be at heavy at times. A further 10-15 mm of rain is expected fairly widely, but some locations, most likely in the south of the area, could see 20-25 mm. The likelihood of impacts from these rainfall amounts is higher than normal due to saturated ground and ongoing flooding following Storm Chandra.

Yellow rain warning
Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, will affect southwest England and southern Wales from Monday evening, through Tuesday morning before clearing to heavy showers later in the day. Rainfall totals are expected to reach 20-30 mm widely, with 50-80 mm likely across higher ground, especially Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). With wet conditions prior to this period, the rain will fall onto saturated ground, accentuating flooding impacts in places. Strong southeasterly winds are also likely.

Yellow rain warning
Information on update: Updated to include reference to Storm Chandra, whilst the start time has been brought forward. Storm Chandra will bring outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, across parts of southern and southwest England as well as southern and mid Wales from Monday afternoon, through Tuesday morning before clearing to heavy showers later on Tuesday. Rainfall totals are expected to reach 20-30 mm widely, with 50-80 mm likely across higher ground, especially Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). With wet conditions prior to this period, the rain will fall onto saturated ground, accentuating flooding impacts in places. Strong southeasterly winds are also likely.

Amber rain warning
Storm Chandra will bring persistent rain, heavy at times, later Monday and overnight before steadily clearing northeastwards on Tuesday morning. 30-50 mm rainfall is likely widely, with 60-80 mm across some higher ground, especially south Dartmoor.

Yellow wind warning
This warning was originally issued as a dual warning for Rain and Wind. Storm Ingrid, named by the Portuguese national weather service IPMA, will bring spells of heavy rain and strong winds across parts of southwest England and south Wales during Friday before easing on Saturday morning.
An initial band of rain early Friday could bring a further 10-20 mm of rain in places in a few hours, with this falling on already saturated ground. A drier interlude is expected before further bands of locally heavy rain and showers push north into the area through the afternoon, evening and overnight. A further 15-20 mm of rain is expected to fall widely across the region by Saturday morning, with 30-40 mm possible in places. Given the saturated nature of the ground, this is likely to lead to some flooding.
This second period of rain will be accompanied by strong winds and coastal gales, along with some very large waves. Gusts are widely expected to be 45-50 mph inland and up to 60 mph near coasts, with winds peaking during Friday evening before gradually easing overnight and into Saturday morning.

Yellow rain warning
A period of rain, heavy at times, especially over high ground, will move east across this region during Wednesday. Coming off the back of recent very wet weather, some travel disruption and flooding is possible.
15-25 mm of rain is likely to accumulate quite widely across the warning area, but 40-60 mm is possible over the high ground of Dartmoor and the hills of south Wales.
Rain should clear to the east during the latter part of Wednesday into the early hours of Thursday.

Yellow rain warning
A band of rain is likely to become slow-moving across parts of southwest England during Monday. Whilst there is still some uncertainty in how quickly this rain slowly moves east across the region, 20-40 mm of rain could fall quite widely with some places seeing 60 mm. Given the recent wet weather and saturated ground, the likelihood of impacts is higher.

Yellow rain warning
Outbreaks of rain arriving from the west during Tuesday morning will turn heavier and more persistent during Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by a strengthening southerly wind with gales developing in places.
20-40 mm is likely fairly widely, with 50-70 mm building up in the wettest spots, these most likely but not exclusively on the south facing slopes of the moors. Rainfall may continue into Wednesday, although details become increasingly low confidence; this warning may be extended tomorrow or a fresh warning issued for early Wednesday should confidence in a wetter scenario increase.
Given recent wet weather, and saturated ground in places, this could lead to flooding in a few spots. More generally, difficult driving conditions are likely for the evening commute in particular, with delays due to slow traffic and the increased possibility of accidents.
