Much of the rain will be concentrated in England and Wales until around 1pm.
The heaviest lashing is predicted in Wales with up to 16mm set to fall per hour.
Those in the south and south east of England, particularly along the coastline, are also due to be hit by torrential downpours into the afternoon.
As the morning progresses, bands of rain are forecast to move north eastwards, which will see areas in northern England affected later.
Meanwhile Met Office maps show lighter showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The Environment Agency has issued more than 100 flood warnings in wake of the heavy rain.
There are 15 flood warnings where flooding is expected primarily scattered around major rivers in the south west of England.
Officials have also highlighted 87 areas where flooding it is possible, stretching across the south up to the midlands.

Met Office meteorologist Kathryn Chalk said in a forecast on YouTube: “After an unsettled Sunday, most of us should see a good deal of sunny spells as we go through Monday but we still hold on to some heavy spells of rain so it is still a damp start so take care during rush hour there could be some spray on the road.
“The band of rain will clear its way eastwards and behind that we should see brighter skies developing.
“There will be a few showers bubbling up especially across the southern parts of England into London and East Anglia.
“Frequent showers across Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland where they could turn heavy, possibly with the odd rumble of thunder.”
There will be lighter winds compared to Sunday, and highs of up to 14C in the south east.
Further showers are to be expected through the night, particularly in the south east.
Temperatures are also set to drop as bitter north westerly winds move in across the UK.
Brits can expect to wake up to a touch of frost on Tuesday morning.
Five day weather forecast
Today Early rain will soon clear southeast England. For most, it will be a day of sunshine and showers. Some showers may be heavy, with hail and thunder. Breezy towards the north, but feeling pleasant in the sunshine in the south.
Tonight Showers easing through the evening, though some will continue across the far northwest overnight. Dry for many, with clear spells. Chillier than of late, though staying mostly frost free.
Tuesday Tomorrow will be another bright day, with many having a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. Staying a little breezy and feeling cooler than today.
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday Outbreaks of rain for many on Wednesday. Drier and brighter on Thursday. Sunny spells Friday, with rain in the northwest later. Temperatures near average, with a chance of overnight frosts.

4 days agoNews 1Comments Off on ‘There’s huge belief’ – Josh van der Flier says Ireland ‘genuinely think they can do it’ as they close in on Grand Slam
JOSH VAN DER FLIER believes Ireland’s ability to stay calm in the chaos has given them the belief that they can win it all.
Ireland beat Wales to win the Triple CrownBen McShane/SportsfileJosh van der Flier insisted Ireland were calm throughout the chaotic gameBen McShane/Sportsfile
They are also two wins from a second Grand Slam in three years.
But the third victory of the campaign was the hardest yet as Ireland played with 14 men for 20 minutes after Garry Ringrose was red-carded.
With Wales’ confidence up and the closed roof in Cardiff raising the temperature and noise levels, it could have been chaotic.
But Ireland scored 17 unanswered points to earn the Triple Crown after prior wins over England and Scotland.
Van der Flier said: “It was very calm in the dressing room. There was nothing panicked about it. It was very calm.
“It was very clear. We knew what we needed to do and thankfully we managed to do it.
“It’s something that we talk about a lot about. In rugby, especially when you’re playing away from home, there’s a lot of chaos going on outside.
“But you need to be fairly calm and it needs to be quite relaxed and calm among the team.
“Obviously on the outside it’s absolute chaos, it’s noisy and it’s a lot of things are happening.
“So I’m very pleased with how the lads dealt with it all because it was a messy.”
And he insisted winning when it is chaotic gives Ireland the belief they can beat France and then Italy to claim another Slam.
The flanker added: “There’s an expectation. Every team goes into a tournament to win it.
“But, particularly in this group, I think that the lads genuinely believe they’re going to do it.
“There’s a huge belief in the group that we can be the best team in the world and that we can win every competition we enter.”
