Heavy and persistent rain is likely to extend north and west across many eastern, northern and central parts of England and Wales on Friday, reaching much of southern Scotland later in the day. This is likely to lead to surface water flooding, particularly in the Amber area, where there is an increasing likelihood of river flooding. The public should be prepared for disruption to travel and outdoor activities. The rain across central England, East Anglia and southeast England should ease later in the day.
