Met Office issue weather warning for heavy rain as floods expected

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for much of the west of England, including parts of Merseyside.

Forecasters say there'll be heavy rain that is likely to lead to floods across Southport and Formby between 9pm on Friday and 12pm on Saturday. According to the Met Office people in these parts of the region can expect "heavy rain bringing the chance of some flooding and disruption."

Some homes and businesses are likely to flood, it said, while public transport will probably see delays. The Met Office also said spray and flooding on roads will "probably make journey times longer", and that "some interruption to power supplies" is also likely.
