SPELLS of heavy rain are set to hit Dorset on Saturday as the county is subject to its third weather warning of the week.
The warning is in place from 2 pm until 3 am the following morning.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "Rain is expected to develop across south Wales and southwest England during Saturday afternoon, moving slowly east to clear most areas early on Sunday morning.
"Although the most persistent rain is expected over hills, periods of heavy rain are expected almost anywhere. 15-25 mm is expected quite widely, with some places seeing 40-60 mm of rain, particularly over hills in south Wales and southwest England.
"Strong winds will accompany the rain, with gusts of 45-55 mph over hills and around coasts."
The service warned the public of what to expect:
- Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
- Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
- Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible
