The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain which will hit most of the Midlands and northern England on Monday and Tuesday.
There is a warning in place from Monday until 3am Tuesday and until 8pm Monday there is a yellow warning in place in north-west England and North Wales.
Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon said, “The focus of that heavier rainfall today is very much the north of England, and parts of the Midlands.”
He added, “Elsewhere, today, it’s a fairly unsettled day of weather with sporadic showers, perhaps a little more dry weather the further southwest you go.
“But even here still feeling rather cloudy and unsettled for much of the day.”
For Tuesday Dixon said it will be a dryer feel for much of the UK tomorrow, and getting dryer as the day goes on as well.
“But still feeling generally wet in east areas, including parts of East Anglia and London in that as well.”
He added, “On Wednesday the outlook is largely dry weather, perhaps.
“A touch of drizzle and some showers in parts of the south of England on Wednesday, but dryer weather is the main theme.
“That dryer weather will continue into Thursday as well, with sporadic showers at times drifting in off the north coast.
By the time we get into Friday afternoon and towards the weekend we’re looking at further rain moving into western areas of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and then by the time we get to Saturday that is more widely wet for much of the UK.”
