The hour-by-hour weather forecast for Birmingham on Tuesday, June 11, can be revealed.

But, if you have plans to head out for work or a social gathering, you may want to pack your umbrella.

The Met Office has issued yellow warnings  over rain from Monday to Thursday which are likely to cause some flooding and travel chaos.

Forecasters warned that flooding of homes and roads, and travel disruption from heavy rain are likely Monday afternoon and evening.

Fast flowing floodwater is possible, causing danger to life, along with power cuts and loss of other services to homes and businesses, the Met Office said.

An amber warning has been issued for Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Essex, Greater London, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey and West Sussex.

A yellow warning has been issued for a wider area, extending from the Humber Estuary south to the English Channel, and west to places including Birmingham, the Black Country, Staffordshire, Sheffield, Derby, Coventry, Oxford, Winchester and Portsmouth.

That warning reads: "Areas of, at times heavy, rain will push north and then westwards across much of south and east England on Monday.

"Whilst some places will miss the worst of the rain 10-25mm of rain may occur quite widely, with some areas potentially seeing up to 60mm and much of this falling in less than six hours.

"There is also a chance that thunder may develop later in the day over parts of East Anglia and the far south-east of England."

Forecasters have said rain which swept across the UK overnight was likely to worsen with heavier downpours expected.

"Homes and businesses are likely to be flooded, causing damage to some buildings," the Met Office said, adding 50-60mm of rain could fall in four to six hours.

"Delays and some cancellations to train and bus services are likely with spray and flooding probably leading to difficult driving conditions and some road closures."

The heaviest rain overnight was recorded in Sellindge, Kent, where 0.6in (15mm) fell in 12 hours, the Met Office said.

Forecaster Steven Keates said the northern Home Counties, East Midlands, Lincolnshire and Humber could see some of the heaviest and most persistent rain.

"Probably later this afternoon into this evening and tonight we could see some of the heaviest rain," he said.

"It is going to be more the persistence of the rain in some places and the intensity for others.

"Eastern and southern England in particular are likely to be seeing long and persistent bad weather.

"Some places could see a month's worth of rain in two or three days, and we could see some flooding issues."

The Environment Agency (EA) has one flood alert on the River Ravensbourne in London covering the boroughs of Lewisham, Bromley, Greenwich and Croydon.

It said there was a risk of flooding for low-lying land, gardens and roads that are close to the river between 7am and 6pm.

The EA added: "We are actively monitoring the situation and are prepared to respond if required.

"Please avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded."
