The Met Office issued five yellow weather warnings - three for rain and two for wind - throughout Sunday as the weekend is expected to end in a washout for large parts of the country.
Another yellow rain warning is in effect from 9am to 9pm in parts of Cornwall, Devon and Plymouth, with between 30 to 40mm of rain widely expected "but in a few places nearer 50-70 mm is possible".
Large parts of South Wales are also under a heavy rain warning from 9am to 9pm on Sunday, with conditions "bringing a spell of around 9-12 hours of rain".
From 6am to 6pm on Sunday, southerly to southwesterly winds are expected to build along much of the UK, with all of Scotland, Wales and northern England, as well as parts of the Midlands and the South West under a yellow alert.
The Met Office said winds are to peak between the late morning and early afternoon, with gusts between 50mph and 60mph possible and "perhaps as much as 70mph in exposed spots along Irish Sea coastlines, Scottish Islands, and other areas of high ground further inland".
