The Met Office has issued a yellow weather for heavy rain across some part of the UK, meaning there is a small chance of flooding.

The warning is in place from 6am today until midnight on Friday and some parts of the UK are included in the warning, including Cumbria.

Met Office forecasters predict that up to 180mm of rain could fall across parts of the Lake District.

Thankfully, Lancashire has been removed from the yellow weather warning, but heavy rain is still in the cards for the county.
