A Met Office spokesperson told the Sun Online: “Rain will push across Northern Ireland, Wales central and northern England on Tuesday, though there is some uncertainty as to how far north and south the rain will be.

“It’s likely to be heavy at times, especially around the high ground for west Wales and perhaps northwest England where quite widely rainfall totals will be around 5-15mm, 20-30mm over higher ground and locally >40mm, before the rain turns more drizzly and edges southwards through the evening.”

On Wednesday there will be further spells of rain.

These showers will most likely affect the central and south parts of the UK and will continue until Thursday with only parts of Scotland avoiding the bad weather.

There will be humidity with extensive cloud and outbreaks of rain across England and Wales, persistent over western hills until it clears on Friday.

The Met Office spokesperson said: “Further rain is likely through Wednesday and Thursday, mainly across England and Wales with perhaps far northern and southern parts of England avoiding much of it.

“Again the heaviest rain will be around high ground in the west where rainfall totals will continue to build up.

“At the moment it does not look like the impacts will be widespread enough for warnings to be issued but some localised impacts are likely.”
