Until that time it looks like the rain will be heavy, as experts are saying there is around 95 per cent chance of rain for most of the day.

The same predictions are in place for Fareham and Gosport.

But in Havant there is still 60 per cent change of rain at 1am tomorrow morning.

Monday is expected to be dry for all areas, even with the chance of some sunshine.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Steve Ramsdale, said: ‘A new area of low-pressure, this time moving across England and Wales, arrives on Saturday night then slowly clears to the east on Sunday. This brings wet and windy weather to the country, particularly Wales, and we have issued a yellow national severe weather warning for rain for this.

‘As the system pulls away from the UK there will be another short lived, colder and more settled spell Monday night with one or two wintry showers possible over high ground in Scotland and perhaps a frost elsewhere.’
