The Met Office has issued a yellow rain warning affecting Derbyshire and the Midlands. The weather alert is in place from 8am on Monday (September 30) until 3am on Tuesday (October 1) during 20 hours of near-continuous rainfall.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "An area of rain, heavy in places, will affect parts of the north-east Midlands and east and northeast England during Monday, before clearing overnight. There is significant uncertainty in the amount of rainfall and location of the largest totals, but 20-40 mm of rain could fall quite widely with a chance that a few places could see 60-80 mm. Strong northeasterly winds will accompany the rain."

The forecaster continued, warning that there is a "slight chance" of power cuts and loss of other services in areas as well as a chance that homes and businesses could be flooded in some areas. People are being advised to check if their property could be at risk of flooding and, if so, to consider preparing an emergency flood kit.

A spokesperson for the Met Office continued: "Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, we recommend staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area."
