Another weather warning has been issued for Sussex as the county prepares to be battered by rain next week.

The Met Office has issued a third weather warning for the county in the space of a week with strong rain again expected to batter the county on Monday.

The yellow weather warning comes after more rain and thunderstorms was forecast to hit Sussex in the coming days. Parts of the county have suffered from flooding as a result of the bad weather.

The Met Office issued its third weather warning for Sussex in the space of four days on Saturday. Rain is expected to batter the county as well as large swathes of England and Wales.

The weather warning is in force from midnight on Monday until 11.59pm.

The Met Office warned that some communities could be cut off by flooded roads and driving conditions could be difficult.

A spokesman for the Met Office added: "Homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.

"Delays or cancellations to train and bus services are possible."

It comes as another weather warning for rain is in force for Sunday affecting large parts of West Sussex.

Chichester, Arundel, Worthing and parts of the South Downs are expected to see heavy rain all day on Sunday.

Another yellow weather warning, this time for thunderstorms, was in effect on Friday afternoon for parts of West Sussex.

In Crawley, pedestrians waded through water and carried elderly residents across floodwaters while cars and buses battled through the rain.

The weather warnings follow a spell of warmer weather across the county.
