The UK is set to be thrashed by “heavy and persistent” rainfall tomorrow, as forecasters issue a yellow weather warning.
According to the Met Office, large parts of the nation will be hit by another round of heavy rain, with around 20-40mm to fall in some areas tomorrow.
However, forecasters warn that as much as 60-80mm may fall in some places in as little as three to six hours – sparking flooding fears.

The yellow weather warning for rain is in place from 12 am until 9 pm tomorrow (August 14), covering large areas of Northern England and Wales.
A Met Office forecaster said: “Rain is expected to develop across southwest England and south Wales on Sunday evening and spread northeast to affect many parts of England and Wales through Monday before easing and clearing into the North Sea on Monday night.
“Within this larger band, a corridor of heavy, persistent and perhaps thundery rainfall is expected to develop.
“There is some uncertainty in the track of this heavier rain but 20-40 mm of rain is expected to fall in many areas within the warning area, with a chance of 60-80 mm falling in a few places, much of which would fall in 3-6 hours.
“At this stage, this very heavy rain appears more likely to fall over northwest Wales and northwest England.”

Regions and local authorities affected:
North East England
North West England
Wales

The Met Office added that communities could be temporarily cut off by flooded roads and there may be spray and flooding leading to some difficult driving conditions and road closures.
There is also a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses.
