The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Sussex and warned people to expect “disruption”.

Spells of rain, heavy in places, are likely to lead to some disruption on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning.

Rain is expected to reach parts of southern England overnight Tuesday, becoming “persistent and heavy” in places for a time.

Much of the warning area will see 15-20 mm of rain with 30-40 mm in some areas with a chance of 50 mm of rain for Sussex before rain eases and clears by early afternoon.

After the chaos caused by Storm Bert last week, some disruption to travel and infrastructure is likely.

Bus and train services will probably be affected with journey times taking longer and spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer for drivers.

Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely, as is some interruption to power supplies and other services.
