The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain in Stroud on Sunday, coinciding with Halloween.

This weather warning looks set to disrupt much of the South of England and South Wales over the weekend.

According to the Met Office, the yellow weather warning for rain means that flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely, bus and train services will probably be affected and flooding on roads could make journey times longer.
