The Met Office issued an amber weather warning for heavy rain and deep floodwater that could cause “danger to life”, as it said flooding and disruption was likely “overnight into Monday”.
Met Office forecaster Craig Snell said rain would gradually make its way eastwards across the UK, adding that Monday would largely be a “day of sunshine and scattered showers”.
Sarah Cook, flood duty manager at the Environment Agency, said heavy and persistent rain had brought “a risk of significant inland flooding in parts of south and mid Wales”.
The Met Office said the westerly pattern for the UK is likely to continue through the week, with showers and possibly longer spells of rain and windy conditions likely at times.
The weather service had said on Sunday that fast-flowing or deep floodwater was likely to cause danger to life, as well as warning of possible “delays and some cancellations to train and bus services”.
