A yellow weather warning has been issued across Hampshire.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Thursday, January 15, from 9 am to 10 pm, as heavy rain and strong winds are expected across Hampshire and southern England.

Residents should be prepared for potentially hazardous conditions, including heavy downpours, strong gusts, and localised flooding.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "An area of low pressure will move northeast across England on Thursday. While the exact path is uncertain, rain will become persistent and heavy during the day, clearing to the north by the evening.

Travel disruption is likely, and drivers are advised to take extra care. Some areas may experience localised flooding due to the wet ground, and strong winds could make conditions more hazardous.

Residents are urged to avoid flooded areas, plan journeys carefully, and stay updated with local travel reports.
