Nottinghamshire could be set to face up to 15 hours of heavy rain this week as the Met Office issues a new weather warning. The alert covers large parts of northern England and the East Midlands.
The warning is in force from midnight to 3pm on Thursday (March 16) - potentially meaning 15 hours worth of wet and windy conditions. The yellow alert warns of persistent rain, which will be particularly heavy over southwest facing hills and is likely to cause some difficult travel conditions in the East Midlands.
The weather organisation also warns of possibility of spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer. A spokesperson added: "Rain is expected to set in during Wednesday evening, turning particularly heavy and persistent overnight especially over southwest facing hills. 40-70 mm is likely quite widely.
