A yellow weather warning has been issued for parts of Buckinghamshire this morning – after the county saw 300 per cent more rain than average last month. 

According to the Met Office, heavy rainfall that caused widespread disruption and flooding across Bucks in September was 298 per cent above the monthly average.

Provisional statistics showed that the county, alongside Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Bedfordshire, recorded more than 250 per cent above average rainfall levels in what was a disproportionately bad month for weather across the UK. 

And we're by no means out of the woods yet – with a yellow rain warning for heavy rain in Aylesbury, Buckingham and Milton Keynes coming into force at 6am this morning, Tuesday, October 1, and expiring at 4pm.

A similar warning for south Buckinghamshire ended at 3am, with a drier few days expected before the return of bad weather this weekend.

Weather for High Wycombe, Beaconsfield and Marlow areas on Tuesday is expected to begin dry before becoming breezy with showers throughout the day, with a maximum temperature of 16 degrees.

Met Office spokesperson Stephen Dixon told the PA News Agency that a low-pressure system centred on the heart of the UK had been behind last week's strong winds and heavy rain, and would move to eastern England throughout this week.

He said: “On Wednesday, the outlook is largely dry weather, perhaps a touch of drizzle and some showers in parts of the south of England but drier weather is the main theme.

“(But) by the time we get to Saturday, that is much more widely wet for much of the UK.”
