The Met Office has extended a yellow weather warning across Surrey and West Sussex into Sunday.

Meteorologists have warned there may be disruption from heavy rain until 23:59 BST on Sunday and rainfall may continue into Monday morning.

The warning comes as flooding caused a two-hour disruption to trains between Hurst Green and East Grinstead on Friday.

Hail, thunder and lightning were also reported across the West Sussex area.
