Although Winchester has avoided a yellow weather warning, the town has still been forecast heavy rain. 

A yellow weather warning has been issued across much of the UK, with heavy rain expected in the north and thunderstorms all along the south coast.

The warning should not affect Winchester, with heavy rain expected today across the county.

Heavy rain is forecast in Winchester all afternoon, with rain expected to clear around 6pm, although of course, this is subject to change. 

Light rain is then expected in the evening from 6pm until 8pm, but is expected to dry up ahead of Thursday, May 23.
