Rain will accompany strong winds, which will make for very poor weather conditions, especially on roads. Winds will then ease from southwest to northeast of the warning area through the afternoon and early evening.

Cumbria – Heavy Rain

A broad band of occasionally heavy rain will push east during Sunday morning and afternoon, bringing a spell of around 6 hours of rain. Up to 20-30 mm of rain is expected to fall quite widely, but in some places such as exposed south or southwest-facing hills nearer 40-50 mm is likely.
