Britain rain for month. Flood warnings for Britain as month's rain set to fall in 24 hours. More than a month's rain is expected to fall in 24 hours in parts of the UK on Wednesday, bringing flood warnings as summer takes a notably soggy turn.

Up to 75mm of rain is forecast in south Wales, Devon and Cornwall, compared to the average monthly rainfall for the country in July of 70mm.

The expected soaking has prompted a number of advisories from the Meteorological Office.

Met Office forecaster Helen Chivers said the heaviest rain will fall over the hills of Dartmoor, Exmoor and the Welsh valleys, putting pressure on areas already deluged by water in the past few days.

She said: "It is looking pretty wet across southern Britain and is likely to cause a few problems in places.

"We are working with the Environment Agency because over the weekend parts of the south west got 100mm of rain, so that has led to rivers rising in certain areas and given us saturated ground in some parts.
