A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Rain will become persistent, with some heavy bursts at times. 10 to 20 mm rain is likely to fall widely, with up to 30 mm in a few places. Given saturated ground, this may lead to some localised flooding.
“The rain will slowly clear from the west later this afternoon and early evening.”
There are currently no warnings in force for the next few days.
