The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain on Saturday and Sunday for parts of north Wales, southwest Scotland and northwest England.
The Met Office said persistent and occasionally heavy rain is expected over the weekend, with outbreaks of rain spreading in from the west during Saturday and Sunday before eventually easing during Sunday afternoon and evening.
Rainfall totals of 30 mm or more are likely across the warning areas, with significantly higher amounts possible over exposed upland regions. Strong south-westerly winds are also possible at times.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Rebekah Hicks said, “While there is still some uncertainty around the timing of individual pulses of heavy rain, the combination of prolonged rainfall and already saturated ground means there is a chance of further disruption to travel and localised flooding.
“We expect further unsettled conditions to continue into next week and are closely monitoring developments.”
The outlook for much of December remains unsettled, with further areas of low pressure expected to bring more wet and windy weather. It is too early to provide details for Christmas, but updates will be posted across Met Office channels as we get closer to the time.
