A weather warning for heavy rain has been issued for parts of the country.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning coming into force at midnight and lasting until 9pm on Monday.

The forecaster has warned of potential flooding and disruption to bus and train services.

An area of rain is expected to move steadily east during Monday, turning heavy at times during the morning.
