A huge band of rain is set to batter the South West overnight, according to the Met Office forecast. Torrential downpours and near gale-force winds are expected to hit the region later this evening.
It comes after torrential downpours hit part of the region hard over the weekend, causing flash flooding amid a Met Office yellow thunderstorm warning. The warning was in place in Bristol and parts of Somerset yesterday (July 9), as strong winds blew through the region.
While no thunderstorms are forecast today (July 10), more wet and wild weather is on the horizon, with heavy downpours expected to hit Bristol later this evening. From around 5pm, the first specs of rain are expected, turning heavier as the evening wears on.
