More than 110 flood alerts - meaning flooding is possible - have also been issued, with more than half of them in the South East.

It said between 10 and 20mm (0.5-1in) of rain was expected to fall on saturated ground on Sunday.

Since 1 January, 569 flood warnings and 30 severe flood warnings have been issued.
