Flooding 'possible' as Met Office issues Bristol weather warning for even more heavy rain

The Met Office said flooding is 'possible' in Bristol as forecasters issued a yellow weather warning for more heavy rainfall. 

After days of rain and isolated flooding, today (January 4) began with drier conditions but the Met Office said it’s not going to last.

A yellow-coded warning for rain was issued covering a period from 12pm today (January 4) until 3am tomorrow (January 5). 

The alert warns that another spell of rain falling onto saturated ground may lead to further flooding and travel disruption.

The Met Office says some communities may be cut off by flooded roads and spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.

The forecasters also say the yellow warning could mean possible power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses. Homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings. Delays or cancellations to train and bus services are also possible.
