Met Office issues rain warning as temperatures drop

More heavy rain is on the way for parts of Wales with the Met Office issuing a weather warning for Tuesday (November 15). It is predicting that up to 50mm of rain could fall in a short period of time in certain areas.

The yellow alert is in place for most of Tuesday morning, from midnight until 1pm. It says: "A band of rain will move east across southern parts of England and Wales during Tuesday morning.

"Some of the rain will be heavy, with 15-30 mm of rain falling widely and as much as 40-50 mm over parts of Dartmoor and south facing high ground of southern Wales and the Marches and parts of southern England."
