This rainfall could reach levels of 10mm per hour in Northern Ireland and Scotland by the evening, with sustained but less intense precipitation expected in the south of England and Wales in the early hours of Friday.
Netweather TV forecaster Terry Scholey said: “Later on Wednesday, a cold front approaches Northern Ireland and North West Scotland, bringing freshening winds and some rain.
“There’s some suggestion that the front may weaken or slow down as it comes, but not all models are in agreement.”
He added: “Friday probably sees a slack pressure regime across Britain as cooler weather tries to move in from the North West.”
It comes as temperatures rise in the coming days, before dropping again from Sunday and into next week.
