The UK is set for heavy downpours this week as amber alerts have been issued for Storm Ciaran, which is set to bring 80mph winds and up to 60mm of rain. The worst of the weather is likely to hit the south coast of England, much of Wales and parts of Northern Ireland on Monday, the Met Office said.

Amber warnings have now been issued by the Met Office in Northern Ireland . In effect from 9pm today to 9am on Tuesday, the forecasters said: 'Further rain will affect Northern Ireland during Monday evening and overnight, becoming heavy and persistent in the east. Check the five-day weather forecast where you are '25-50 mm of rain falling widely and as much as 75 to 100 mm over hills, this falling on already saturated ground. The rain will ease from the south through Tuesday morning.

' Mr Petagna said that Tuesday - Halloween - was expected to be still unsettled but quieter before heavy winds and longer spells of rain develop on Wednesday night into Thursday as Storm Ciaran arrives. The weather is expected to worsen as the week progresses, with rain warnings in place until Thursday, and a 'deep area of low pressure' set to arrive the same day.
