Here's when you need to dig out your umbrella as rain set to return to Fylde coast

An area of low pressure is forecast to bring heavy rain to parts of Lancashire on Wednesday.

Tuesday is set to be another warm but cloudy day, with temperatures set to reach 19C in Blackpool.

But the weather is set to turn on Wednesday as an area of low pressure approaches the UK from the east, bringing heavy rainfall.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Rudman said: “Low pressure is going to influence our weather from the middle of this week, bringing some heavy rain to parts of the UK.

“Eastern areas are most likely to see the highest rainfall accumulations, though this will depend on the precise positioning of the low pressure.

“It is important to keep an eye on the forecast as the detail becomes clearer, and it is possible Severe Weather Warnings will also be issued.”
