Twenty motorists had to be rescued from the A27 in Sussex after getting stuck in floodwater
The rain brings a small chance of homes and businesses flooding, communities being temporarily cut off by flooded roads and disruptions to transport, the Met Office warns.
A third warning will come into force at 3pm on Thursday until 6pm on Friday for the east coast of Scotland, stretching from the English border up past Aberdeen with similar risks of flooding and transport disruptions. A yellow weather warning was also issued for fog across parts of Northern Ireland from 4.40am to 10am on Thursday.Met Office spokesperson Craig Snell said: "The warning areas are where we are most concerned about the risk of flooding but it doesn't mean that the areas outside them are not going to see some pretty atrocious conditions."
Mr Snell said a warning is in place for the southeast because "it has been quite wet there since the beginning of November with many places already seeing more than their month's share of rain". The midlands and the north of England will have a "pretty miserable day" on Thursday after the rain sweeps in overnight, Mr Snell said.
