The Met Office has sounded an alarm regarding an impending storm that is expected to bring substantial rainfall to various regions across the UK. A yellow weather warning is now in effect, particularly impacting the southwest, parts of the southeast, and southern Wales. This warning is scheduled to take effect at noon tomorrow and will remain in place until midnight, indicating a critical period for residents to prepare for potential flooding and disrupted travel conditions.
