Portsmouth weather: When is it going to rain this weekend and when will it end? Met Office warning updated

The Met Office issued the yellow weather warning for rain yesterday, covering the city, Gosport, Fareham, Portchester and much of the south west of England and Wales. The forecaster said: “Another area of rain will cross the UK heaviest during early Saturday, before it clears to the east during the morning.

"Some of that rain, especially in southwestern parts of the UK, is likely to be heavy at times, and follows many weeks of above-average rainfall in this area. The associated weather system should clear to the east later Saturday morning, with more showery conditions following. 10 to 15mm is expected widely in the warning area, with a few places near southern coasts and over high ground seeing 20 to 30mm, with a chance that the southern slopes of Dartmoor and the hills of southwest Wales could see 40 to 50mm.”
