An amber rain warning issued by the Met Office for areas of the Midlands and the south of the country and a separate yellow rain warning for large parts of England and Wales both ended on Friday. Sunday will start dry and fine for many, but further wind and rain will move in from the South West, with a yellow warning for wind issued for south-west England and parts of Wales. Winds will gradually ease across Wales and inland parts of south-west England through Sunday evening and night, but it may remain fairly windy along some coasts of southern and south-western England during Sunday night. Earlier areas affected by the amber rain warning, including Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire and the West Midlands, were hit by flash floods as the Met Office said the regions could have 30-40mm of rainfall within three hours.
