The Met Office has warned commuters to check the forecast before travelling as heavy rain is set to hit the UK.

A yellow weather warning is in place for most of England and part of Wales from the early hours of Tuesday as heavy rain and potential flooding is expected.

The downpour is being brought by a burst of low pressure travelling across the UK, along with warm and humid air linked to the remnants of Hurricane Humberto which hit the Bermuda coastline last week.

England and Wales can expect 30mm to 50mm of rain in a short time on Tuesday, with up to 70mm in isolated spots.

The weather warning said: "Widespread rain is expected on Tuesday with some very heavy rain possible, bringing some disruption from flooding."
