Warning of more rain to come

A FLASH weather warning for the South East has been issued by the Met Office.

Another 15mm (just over half-an-inch) of rain is expected this evening.

Drivers are being advised to take extra care on the roads.

The Highways Agency said: 'Rain and spray can reduce visibility and when the road is wet it can take up to twice as long to stop, so it makes sense to slow down when it's raining.

'If your vehicle loses its grip, or "aquaplanes" on surface water, take your foot off the accelerator to slow down.

'Don't brake or steer suddenly because you will have no control of the steering or brakes.'
