It says we should expect periods of heavy rain, bringing the possibility of some disruption, particularly to transport. 

The warning reads: "A couple of bands of rain, heavy in places, will push northwards across southern England and south Wales during Thursday and early on Friday.

"Whilst a drier interlude is likely for a time during the middle part of Thursday, many places in the warning area will see 15-25 mm of rain accumulate during this period.

"However, some higher ground areas of southern England and south Wales could see as much as 35-45 mm of rain."

It will be in force from 4am on Thursday until 8am on Friday.

"The heaviest of the rain is likely to fall during the rush hour tomorrow morning, which may lead to additional hazards," says forecaster Jamie Russell.

"A third spell of rain will move in later tomorrow afternoon, evening and overnight, bringing a further 15-20mm of rainfall across many areas.

"The total 48-hour accumulation of rainfall is likely to be in excess of 50mm — well over half the average rainfall for February."
