STORM Christoph is due to drench Dorset today as weather warnings for heavy rain remain in place.

The Met Office has imposed a yellow warning across the south west - which means 'be prepared'.

A spokesman for the Met Office said: "Occasional heavy rain is expected to affect the region from Wednesday onwards into early Thursday as Storm Christoph affects the UK.

"Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely, bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer and some interruption to power supplies and other services is likely.

"Some stronger winds may also accompany the rainfall and may add to travelling difficulties across higher and more exposed routes."

The Met Office has told us what to expect:

  • Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely
  • Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
  • Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
  • Some interruption to power supplies and other services likely
