The Met Office has issued amber and yellow National Severe Weather Warnings for rain for the weekend and Monday, covering north west England, west and south west Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of Wales.
A yellow weather warning is in place for the Lancaster and Morecambe District until 6pm on Monday. This means periods of heavy rain may lead to travel disruption and some flooding.
There is an amber weather warning in place for persistent rain in Cumbria.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Rebekah Hicks said: “The north west of the UK is set for a very wet weekend, with persistent and heavy rain accompanied by strong winds. Rain will move in through Saturday morning and become established and slow-moving across central and northwest parts of the UK through the weekend.
“We have issued numerous severe weather warnings for rain, and it is possible that these could be updated so I’d advise people to keep an eye on the forecast and for Met Office weather warnings.”
Jonathan Day, Flood Duty Manager at the Environment Agency, said: “Significant surface water flooding impacts are possible in parts of the North of England on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. There are also possible significant river flooding impacts in parts of the North of England on Sunday and Monday, with minor flooding impacts possible more widely across northern England over the weekend.
"Environment Agency teams are out on the ground, taking action to reduce the impact of flooding and support those communities affected. We urge people not to drive though flood water – it is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm of flowing water is enough to float your car.
"People should search ‘check my flood risk’, get free flood warnings, and keep up to date with the latest situation at @EnvAgency on X.”
