all of us on the late team, For a few hours later this week,

most of the United Kingdom will actually be dry. It will not last

long and at any time of the week in the UK somewhere, there will be

rain falling. It was that kind of day again in the Pennines. More

flash flooding as a result of intense downpours. Hebden Bridge

again, the second time in less than a week. Don't drop your guard in

this area, showers around overnight and into tomorrow. A Met Office

amber warning for rain further south in parts of the Midlands. The

North and East Midlands in particular. Heavy showers starting

to take shape, they could cause problems into the morning.

Overnight, a lot of cloud around, showers of rain and heavy showers

working into south-west England overnight. We really don't need

more rainfall there. This area of heavy rain, North and East Midlands,

in two parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Intense downpours,

they could beat surface water flooding it. Across East Anglia and

the south-east in contrast, tantalising glimpses of sunshine

before the showers get going. This line of showers works across south-

west England and may cause problems. It doesn't take much at the moment

because the ground is so saturated. In Wales, plenty of cloud and

outbreaks of rain to the north and west. After overnight rain in

Northern Ireland, a mainly dry start to the day. In Scotland,

another area of rain fall pushes in. It is in the north-east, it will

hang around for much of the day. In Scotland and Northern Ireland,

outbreaks of rain and showers. We have a heavy rain affecting parts

of the Midlands, Yorkshire to Lincolnshire. It develops into

thundery downpours. Elsewhere in northern England and further south

across England, too. One of two showers into Northern Ireland. Much

of the afternoon, south-west England, Wales, fringes of England

become mainly dry. A cool day in eastern Scotland. It is still wet

on Wednesday and the persistence of the rain here may cause problems.

Elsewhere on Wednesday, thundery downpours to contend with. That
