Heavy rainfall has caused flooding and disruption to transport in parts of Sussex and Surrey.

The M25 junction 10 exit road at the Wisley Interchange was closed due to flooding but reopened just before 10:00 BST on Thursday, said National Highways.

South Western Railway said heavy rain was affecting trains between Wanborough and Ash to the far west of Guildford, with disruption to last until 17:00.

The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for rain in southern England, which is in place from 06:00 on Thursday until 09:00 on Friday.

Flood alerts have been issued for the River Adur in West Sussex, near Shermanbury, alongside Surrey's River Blackwater and the Cove Brook.

Another flood alert was in place for the River Thames from Shepperton to Molesey.

Warnings

The Met Office weather warning means there is a "small chance" of flooding that can cause damage to homes, businesses and life, delayed or cancelled trains and buses, road closures and power cuts.

The Environment Agency alerts warned that flooding of low lying land and roads is possible in the Blackwater area, including Camberley.
