Brentford has been issued with a Yellow Alert weather warning of heavy rain over the next 48 hours.

Recent dry chilly weather will be displaced by strong winds and heavy rain, especially in the south.

The change in weather is being triggered by Storm Barbara, named by the Spanish, which will bring strong winds and heavy rain to parts of Portugal and Spain tomorrow and Wednesday.

The heavy rain is expected to reach this area by Wednesday.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Frank Saunders, said; "Tomorrow (Tuesday) a low-pressure system, separate to Storm Barbara, will cross Ireland and Northern Ireland bringing gale or even severe gale force winds to some exposed parts of the west and South West of the UK.

"As we look ahead to the rest of the week, we are expecting rain or showers for many areas on Wednesday, possibly heavy and blustery in the South East.

"It will be quieter on Thursday but more unsettled from Friday, with spells of wet and windy weather moving in from the west."
