In Greater Manchester, heavy rain is set to fall consistently in the early hours of tomorrow morning. Forecasters predict it will continue to fall until around lunchtime, when lighter showers are forecast.

A Met Office spokesperson 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."
