Heavy rain is expected throughout Thursday as Storm Ciaran sweeps the country. 20-30mm is likely quite widely, but a number of places may see 40-60mm.

Upland areas of southwest England and Wales may see 80mm of rain, while a few places in northern Wales could get more than 100mm, the Met Office said.

"Given this amount of rainfall, the current saturated conditions, and the potential for fallen leaves to block drains etc, further impacts are likely," the Met Office warned.
