The UK is preparing for winds reaching up to 60mph (96.56 km\/h)<\/strong>, with significant travel disruption expected, just days after heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding. The Met Office has issued a yellow rain warning<\/a><\/strong> for much of southern England and South Wales<\/strong>, effective from 4pm Sunday to 9am Monday.<\/p>\n

The warning indicates that heavy rain could lead to further flooding and travel delays<\/strong>. While London<\/strong> narrowly avoids the official warning, the city is still forecast to experience heavy rain on Monday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the warning areas, 20-30 mm of rain<\/strong> may fall within 9\u201312 hours, with 50-80 mm<\/strong> possible in higher regions. Becky Mitchell<\/strong>, a meteorologist from the Met Office, noted that the recent weather has already left rivers swollen and the ground saturated<\/strong>, increasing the risk of flooding.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Environment Agency<\/strong> has issued 48 flood warnings<\/strong> and 90 flood alerts<\/strong> across England, signalling widespread risk of flooding.<\/p>\n
