The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the south of Suffolk ahead of the bank holiday weekend.

The weather warning for rain covers most of the south of England but will affect Ipswich, Felixstowe and the surrounding villages.

It is expected to rain heavily, cause travel disruption and even flood in some places.

Rain will develop early Saturday morning from about 6am and persist for several hours until it clears eastwards in the late morning.

About 15 to 30mm of rain is expected but as much as 50 to 70mm could fall in some places.

The forecast comes as Storm Lilian brings strong winds to Suffolk on Friday morning, forcing attractions such as Ickworth Estate to close.
