UK Weather: Met Office forecast reveals exactly when torrential rain will hit your area

Brits will be drenched in severe downpours today, with millions likely affected by the rainstorms.

The Met Office has issued an advisory of yellow weather that covers large areas of England. It includes a vast area stretching from north to south.

The southwest, Wales, as well as the farthest areas of the east and west of England will be affected the most.

Heavy showers will hit Brits from midday until midnight. This alert could lead to flooding.

The forecast for heavy rains in the next few hours means that roads and public transport may be affected.
