“Heavy rain at times may lead to further flooding,” the Met Office says.

“There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.

“There is a small chance of fast-flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life.

“There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads.”
