The Met Office has issued updated weather warnings for nine areas in the UK as heavy showers are forecast. The yellow warning of rain will come into effect at 6pm on Wednesday (January 21) and will remain in place untill Friday (January 23) midnight.
According to the National Weather Agency, heavy and continous rain over the hills will bring some flooding from Wednesday.
The Met Office explained: "Rain, whilst intermittent at first on Wednesday, will become persistent and heavy over high ground later in the day, continuing into Thursday and potentially Friday.
"Rainfall accumulations of 30-60 mm are likely fairly widely inland, with as much as 80-120 mm possible over the highest ground exposed to the brisk southeasterly winds.
"Given the nature of the ground following recent rain and snow thaw, this may lead to some flooding in places. Rainfall totals will be smaller in coastal areas, but strong onshore winds and large waves at times will be additional hazards."
