Yellow rain warnings have also been issued in parts of England and Wales from the early hours of Monday to 3am on Tuesday.

An amber warning signalling possible “danger to life” in parts of Wales has been extended, with nearly a month’s worth of rain forecast to fall in 24 hours.

It runs from midnight to 11.59pm on Monday and says “fast flowing or deep floodwater is possible, which could cause a danger to life” in the majority of South Wales.

Yellow rain warnings have also been issued in parts of England and Wales from the early hours of Monday to 3am on Tuesday, as well as for most of Monday in south-west Scotland.

Forecasters predict 120mm of rain could fall in the highest ground of Wales’ amber warning zone while 20mm to 40mm is expected widely and up to 80mm is likely in hilly parts
