Met Office forecast as weather warning is issued 

The Met Office says: "After a brief gap, another spell of heavy rain is likely to spread northeastwards on Tuesday.

"The focus this evening and overnight will be across parts of southwest and southern England, south Wales and perhaps the Midlands.

"On Tuesday the focus for the heaviest rain is less clear-cut but perhaps more likely across parts of Wales, the Midlands towards eastern England and Yorkshire.

"Over the warning period, 15 to 30 mm rain is likely to fall fairly widely, with a few places seeing 35 to 50 mm.

"The worst of the rain should clear southwestern areas of England and south Wales by around the middle of Tuesday but could last into the evening across the northeast of the warning area."

Strong winds will affect parts of the area, with a separate wind warning in place. Bradford is not currently included in that warning.
