HAMPSHIRE could be set for a bout of wet weather in the next few days with the Met Office issuing a yellow warning for rain.
The national weather service has issued the warning, which covers all of southern England, from midnight on Wednesday, January 20, until 3am on Thursday, January 21.
Spells of heavy rain may lead to travel disruption and flooding places, the Met Office said.
A spokesperson said: "Occasional heavy rain is expected to affect the region on Wednesday and Wednesday night.
"The heaviest and most persistent rain is likely to be across the higher ground in the south west.
"20-50 mm of rain is expected to fall widely across the warning area, with 50-80 mm over the Moors in the south west.
"Some stronger winds may also accompany the rainfall and may add to travelling difficulties across areas higher and more exposed routes."
The current Met Office forecast for Southampton says there is between a 70 per cent and 90 per cent chance of rain on Wednesday from 6am through to 9pm.
