Blustery showers will then follow, and there will possibly be prolonged rain in the south of the UK. Despite the increase in rain, only one flood alert - which means that flooding is possible - has been issued by the Environment Agency today. The Government body said this morning and evening will see strong winds and spring tides that could 'cause large waves and spray overtopping on the coast and on the Humber Estuary'. These 'higher tides' mean that low lying areas of the coast, in particular around Kilnsea village, could see some flooding.

Showers to contend with as we go through Wednesday and Thursday before a spell of wet and windy weather moves in on Friday. 'Back to the hear and now, we've got an area of rain across Devon and Cornwall as we go through the course of the night. Elsewhere day time showers generally fading across inland areas but remaining fairly showery across coastal areas, Northern Ireland, Scotland, down the eastern seaboard of England and into Wales. 'Under the clearer skies, across western Scotland down into northwestern England and the midlands, temperatures here could fall down to low single figures but here tomorrow morning will start off on a fairly sunny and dry note where elsewhere we'll see showers from the word go and these will be fairly widespread across the country. 'Later on in the afternoon we will see this area of rain creeping into southeastern Scotland and northeastern England giving a wetter end to the day here. 'But for all of us it should feel a little less chilly thanks to a slightly lighter northernly wind. So that area of rain will then sink its way southwards across much of the UK as the night goes on, some burst in it. Remaining driest among western Northern Ireland but for most a slightly less chilly night then of late but a few spots falling into mid-single figures. 'So first it starts fairly damp across the south of the country but that will quickly clear towards France and that will leave us with another day of sunny spells and showers but the showers will be a bit fewer and further in between than Wednesday. 'Hopefully, a little bit more in the way of sunshine for most of us and temperatures a little bit warmer again with most of us seeing highs of reaching around 15C to possibly 17C in the south. 'Then having a quick look at Friday, after this kinda slight brief drier spell on Thursday, another spell of wet and windy weather moves in from the Atlantic, especially in the West, a thoroughly soggy day for some of us. 'That clears through during Saturday but further frontal systems on their way and a fairly changeable start to the weekend.'
