The Met Office has warned the UK faces a week of heavy rain, with hundreds of flood warnings issued across the country.
A band of rain is predicted to blanket Britain on Tuesday, with the downpours due to become heavier and more persistent in Northern Ireland and Scotland during the day.
The Environment Agency has issued 53 flood warnings for England and 134 flood alerts, while 13 warnings have been issued along coastal areas in Wales and 11 in Scotland.
It warned this could result in travel disruption, with lands, roads and some properties at risk of water damage.
The Met Office predicts a week of miserable weather with ongoing outbreaks of rain and drizzle throughout the country with occasional dry spells.
Although heavy rain will gradually clear towards the east as Tuesday progresses, the afternoon will remain overcast, with the possibility of light rain persisting.
This unsettled pattern will continue through the week and beyond, the forecast shows.
The weather is expected to turn for the worse as Tuesday night progresses.
Outbreaks of rain will become heavier and sustained, particularly affecting Northern Ireland and Scotland as a band of rain enters from the north.
This band will slowly move across northern parts of the UK on Wednesday. Southern England and Wales are expected to experience drier conditions, although the day will remain predominantly cloudy. Wednesday is largely set to be a windy day, with gales expected in northern Scotland.
The rainfall will continue throughout the week, particularly in the west where it will be heavy at times.
However, residents in the southeast may enjoy periods of fine and dry weather. As the week progresses, temperatures are expected to rise, bringing milder conditions across the country.
