FORECASTERS have warned that heavy rain is on the way, with some areas in line for snow.

Swindon is expected to miss the worst of the weather.

However, a Yellow weather warning is in force for much of south east England. Oxford will be hit by the poor weather and some areas could see as much as two inches of rain fall in just 24 hours.

The weather warning runs from 9pm on Sunday evening to midnight on Monday.

The Met Office said: "Heavy rain is likely to reach south east England and parts of East Anglia later on Sunday then spread further north and west overnight, probably reaching much of eastern, central and southern England by Monday morning. The rain is expected to last for much of Monday.

"Although it is unclear how far west the heaviest rain will extend, accumulations of 25-40 mm could occur quite widely with perhaps 50-70mm in places during this period.

"The heavy rain will be accompanied by strong to gale force northerly winds and it may be cold enough to produce some snow on high ground although this seems unlikely to settle."
