Portsmouth weather: Hour by hour forecast as heavy rain continues to hit city amid weather warning

The forecast issued a yellow alert earlier this week, stating that flooding was a possibility. It is in place throughout today (September 6).

The Met Office said “heavy rain may lead to some travel disruption”. They added: “Outbreaks of heavy rain are expected widely across southern England and southern Wales on Friday. Heavy rain will be persistent for some and may be particularly heavy in a few places.

“Rainfall totals of 15-30 mm are expected widely, however, the wettest areas are likely to see 40-60 mm through the whole of Friday. In addition, rain may well be accompanied by thunderstorms at times, mainly across the north of the warning area.

“This heavy rain follows on from a wet day across some similar areas on Thursday which will increase the likelihood of impacts. There is also the potential for further spells of heavy rain across parts of the south over the weekend.” Here is the hour by hour Met Office forecast. BBC weather said rain showers and light winds are expected throughout the day.
