Both local and national forecasters have issued a yellow weather warning for rain on the Isle of Wight for this Saturday (November 4).

The Met Office has put a weather warning in place starting 3pm on Saturday through to midnight, with frequent heavy showers, along with gusty winds, expected.

The national forecaster says a spell of heavy rain followed by frequent, heavy and blustery showers is expected to affect the Island.

Around 20-30mm of rain could fall in some places, with perhaps as much as 40mm by the end of the day, the Met Office said.
