Bristol is facing a wet morning following a night of rain which is already causing issues in the city today (January 12). A yellow weather warning for rain was issued yesterday by the Met Office for most of the South West - including Bristol - along with parts of Wales, which will last until 5pm.
The weather is such that one lane has been closed off on the M32 motorway due to flooding, and it's likely that other parts of the city will be affected by the "persistent heavy rain". Great Western Railways has also tweeted this morning that flooding is blocking all lines between Temple Meads and Swindon.
A flood alert has also been issued in the Bristol area for the Frome catchment. In the alert, the Environment Agency said people should "start acting on your flood plan if you have one".
