Residents across Oxfordshire have been warned about flooding after a yellow weather warning was issued for the county.

The Met Office has warned that spells of rain, heavy at times, are likely to cause some travel disruption and perhaps flooding in a few places.

Spray and flooding on roads will likely make journey times longer while bus and train services will also be affected with journey times taking longer.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Rain developing early Saturday will persist for several hours before clearing away eastwards during the late morning or early afternoon.

“15 to 30 mm of rain is likely to fall widely and as much as 50 to 70 mm of rain could accumulate in a few places.

“There is a small chance of flooding of a few homes and businesses and a small chance of some interruption to power supplies and other services.”
