A new weather warning has been issued for Wiltshire with more heavy rain forecast to batter the county for days.

Yellow weather warnings for rain will be in place across Swindon and Wiltshire from 5pm on Thursday, September 26, until 10am on Friday, September 27.

It is expected that this will cause some disruption in Wiltshire after the county was hit hard by days of heavy rain less than a week ago.

At the time of writing, some roads are still closed, and parts of the county are still underwater.

Residents have been urged to check if their properties are at risk of flooding ahead of the potential downpour.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Whilst some areas will miss the worst, areas of heavy, showery rain are expected to become widespread across a swathe of England and Wales during Thursday evening and on into Friday morning.

“There is some uncertainty in the details, but some locations may see up 20 to 30mm of rain in 2 to 3 hours and perhaps 40 to 60 mm in 4 to 6 hours.

“Lightning and strong, gusty winds may be additional hazards, especially in southwest coastal areas.

“Given the recent very wet weather, this will bring the potential for further flooding and transport disruption.”
