A yellow weather warning has been issued covering much of southern England from early Wednesday morning until 8am Thursday due to persistent heavy rainfall.
Authorities warn travel disruption is likely and localized flooding cannot be ruled out, particularly across Kent, Surrey, and areas stretching toward Cornwall.
While most of London sits outside the main alert zone, certain districts including parts of Croydon may still experience significant rainfall during the period.
Meteorologists emphasize forecasts remain subject to change and residents outside official warning boundaries should not assume conditions will remain entirely unaffected.
Rain is expected to intensify during Wednesday afternoon and evening, producing the heaviest downpours before gradually weakening overnight into Thursday morning.
Thursday should bring lighter rain showers before drier conditions develop heading into Friday as pressure systems move away from the region.
Forecasters say the rainfall totals could vary sharply across short distances, explaining why some London areas are less severely categorized than neighboring counties.
Temperature highs will remain cool through midweek, with heavy rain Wednesday followed by lighter precipitation Thursday and cloudy but milder conditions into the weekend.
Saturday and Sunday are forecast to become milder with increased cloud cover, suggesting the unsettled spell will transition toward calmer late-winter weather patterns.
Officials encourage commuters to allow extra travel time and monitor updates as rainfall bands shift, especially in flood-prone locations near rivers and low-lying roads.
