MORE heavy rain is set to fall across Dorset, the Met Office has warned.
A yellow warning has been issued for rain across Dorset on Monday, September 23.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “There is potential that 30-50 mm could develop in any part of the warning area, much of which could fall in six hours or less. Some locations could see 80-100 mm over the course of 12 to 24 hours.”
In terms of what to expect, the Met Office said some communities may be cut off by flooded roads.
Flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and even road closures.
There is a possibility of power cuts and loss of other services as a result of the heavy downpours.
Public transport services may also be impacted by the downpours, so people are urged to check before they travel.
The spokesperson added: “Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.”
