Yellow weather warnings for rain have been issued across parts of the UK at the beginning of next week.
The Met Office said heavy rain is likely to bring some disruption and possible flooding on Monday from midnight until 3pm in the South West and Wales, and from 8am on Monday to 6am on Tuesday in the South East.
Up to 80mm of rain is expected in parts of South Wales and South West England on Monday, with as much as 50-60 mm predicted over the North and South Downs in England.
Strong winds, perhaps reaching gale force, will accompany the rainfall, particularly in coastal areas, according to the Met office.
The heavy rain will continue into Tuesday morning, with a weather warning in place for rain in the South of England until 6am.

Forecasters say most places across Wales and England could see 20-30mm of rain with 50mm possible in some places. But over high ground there is a chance of 60-80 mm falling.
Strong winds may accompany this heavy rain, particularly across eastern parts of England on Saturday night.
The Met Office has warned spray and flooding on roads could make journey times longer with a chance of delays to public transport. It adds there is a small chance of flooding and power cuts.
The weather is predicted to remain unsettles with wet and windy conditions set to continue for the week ahead, with the occasional drier and milder spell, the Met Office said.
