10 to 15 mm is likely to fall in a one to two-hour period, with around 20mm in a few places, while winds as strong as 60-70mph are expected along some exposed coasts, especially in Cornwall, Pembrokeshire, Gwynedd and Anglesey.
During the downpour, spray and flooding on roads will probably make journey times longer, while some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely.
