The Met Office has issued a yellow warning of heavy rain for London.

Starting from 4pm this afternoon, forecasters have predicted disruptions this evening and overnight as a result of the wet and windy weather.

They have advised of potential disruption to power supplies and other services, while "flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely".

Journeys are also expected to be impacted due to flooding on the roads.

This comes following a thunderstorm warning which runs through to midday today (October 20).

The weather is expected to remain relatively dry across London until later this afternoon, with temperatures of 16°/17°.
