A yellow weather warning has been issued with heavy rain forecast across Flintshire.

It is in place across large parts of Wales and the south west of England from 6pm tonight through until midday on Wednesday 16 October.

The Met Office says that some areas covered within the warning could see between 10mm to 20mm of rainfall.

A Met Office spokesperson said: “Areas of heavy rain are expected to develop and push north across the warning area.

“Rain will develop in southwest England late afternoon, before becoming heavier and expanding north on Tuesday evening and overnight into Wednesday.

“Many places will see around 10-20 mm of rain, but there is a chance some locations may see considerably more than this over a 6 hour period, most likely parts of southwest England and south Wales.

“A few places may see 50-80 mm of rain fall in 6 hours.

“Isolated thunderstorms are also possible in the south of the warning area, with lightning an additional hazard.”
