The BBC Weather Centre said the North West was among parts of northern England, as well as northern and central Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia, to have the most rainfall.
Between 20mm and 40mm of rain is expected to fall in central and northern areas of England, while the worst-hit places could see 60mm of rain, the average monthly fall for July.
‘Think ahead’
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has issued six flood alerts.
There is no flood warning system in Northern Ireland although the Met Office has issued a yellow warning – urging people to be aware – for its south-eastern tip.
The Environment Agency’s Pete Fox told the BBC that five million homes in the UK are deemed to be at risk of flooding.
He said that, as the rain lands, the agency is using its monitoring stations and river gauging stations to predict more specifically where the weather would be worst.
“We don’t want people to worry right now but we want people to take a look at our website to work out if they are at risk of flooding,” he added.
The Environment Agency has opened incident rooms and has teams out checking on flood defences and clearing any blockages to reduce risks as much as possible.
The latest flood warnings follow the UK’s wettest June since records began in 1910, according to provisional Met Office figures.
BBC Weather’s Chris Fawkes said that, for the past three months, the UK had found itself underneath an accelerating part of the 6-mile high Jet Stream – a fast wind blowing around the planet.
An accelerating Jet Stream causes air to rise upwards through the atmosphere and creates low pressure centres and a greater likelihood of rain, he said.
Over the weekend, further heavy rain is forecast for parts of northern England and central and southern Scotland which will again introduce the risk of localised flooding.
And BBC weatherman Darren Bett said there was “no sign of warm dry weather for a month”.
