Wet and windy weather is set to grip the county as the UK prepares for Storm Babet.

Heavy rain is expected to reach Kent tomorrow, with the storm set to make landfall in the west of the UK this evening.

Heavy downpours are forecast throughout tomorrow, with some regions set to receive a month’s worth of rain.

Fortunately, Kent is yet to be subject to any weather warnings – with most of the damage likely to be along the east coast starting from just under Norwich.

However, the county isn’t in the clear yet, with Met Office bosses saying it is likely warnings will be updated in the week.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates said: “Storm Babet will bring impactful rain to many parts of the UK, but especially parts of eastern Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England later this week.

“Heavy and persistent rain will fall onto already saturated ground bringing a risk of flooding. It is important to stay up to date with warnings from your local flood warning agency as well as the local authorities.

“As well as heavy rain, Storm Babet will bring some very strong winds and large waves near some eastern coasts too. Gusts in excess of 60mph are possible in eastern and northern Scotland from Thursday.

“It is likely Met Office warnings will be updated through the week.”

As the rain moves northwards it will stall across central and eastern parts of Scotland where it will become heavy and persistent from Thursday through to Saturday.

Further rain warnings have been issued for Northern Ireland and England and there is also a yellow warning for wind over the northern half of Scotland through Thursday and into Friday.
