Swindon is waking up to heavy rain and waterlogged roads.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for much of the south of England, with heavy rain expected to last until 8pm tonight.

The weather is likely to remain unsettled for the rest of the week. Atlantic storm Hurricane Lorenzo is predicted to hit the UK by Thursday night.

Nicola Maxey, a spokeswoman for the Met Office, said: “Through the rest of October, things are looking very changeable for the first week and that looks likely to continue through the second and third week.”
