Dan Suri, the deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said a cold front would bring bursts of heavy rain and coastal gusts of 60 to 70mph along the south coast on Wednesday.
“Wind and rain warnings associated with Storm Ciaran are in force from Wednesday night onwards into Friday,” he said.
“As well as strong winds, this deep low pressure system will bring heavy rain to many parts of the UK.
“Much of southern England and south Wales, as well as parts of north Wales, northeast England, southeast Scotland and perhaps the east of Northern Ireland look to see the wettest conditions between Wednesday evening and Friday morning.”
He added that between 20 to 25mm of rain may fall in many places, with 40 to 60mm possible over higher ground.
“Some parts of south Wales and south-west England may see 80mm of rain,” he said. “This rain will fall on already saturated ground, bringing the risk of flooding.”
