Heavy rain and strong winds could hit parts of Britain this week, with new weather maps showing gusts of around 60mph. Charts from WXCharts show wet and windy weather heading towards the UK on Tuesday, November 17, with western areas among those facing the worst conditions. The maps show 60mph winds around Britain and Ireland, with further gusts possible on Wednesday, November 18.

Rain is also expected across parts of England, Scotland and Wales, with some places facing much wetter conditions than others. The Met Office has also said rain and stronger winds will move into the south-west on Monday, following a cold start to the week. Five areas facing some of the heaviest rain

The WXCharts maps suggest these five areas could see some of the heaviest rainfall:

A separate map for Wednesday shows where rain could build up, with western parts of Britain standing out.

The figures cover several days rather than just Tuesday, so they don't represent the amount expected to fall in one day.

Strong winds could also make driving difficult, particularly on exposed roads and in coastal areas.

The Met Office has warned that the weather will remain changeable between Tuesday and Thursday, with snow also possible on higher ground in North Wales, northern England and Scotland.

For those travelling this week, the combination of rain and strong winds could mean more difficult journeys, especially in areas facing the worst conditions.
