Met issues warnings for further rains
UK police have issued yellow warnings for rain across much of the country as storm which battered the US at the weekend continued to sweep in from the Atlantic with more heavy rain expected on Friday.
Over a dozen flood warnings remain in place for parts of north-west, north-east and south-west England and Wales.
Meanwhile, the Environment Agency has issued 16 flood warnings– six in the south-west, four in the north-east, three in the north-west and three in Wales.
“It’s going to be wet and windy on Friday and then we have colder air moving in with some icy conditions for a brief cold spell,” said a Met Office spokeswoman.
As part of measures to cope with the situation, troops have been put on standby.
According to the Met, a cold and showery start is expected for most on Sunday, with showers falling as snow on hills, and possibly to lower levels at times in the north.
Media reports say, conditions for next week are expected to remain changeable, especially in the north-west, with bands of rain interspersed by colder, showery conditions, with snow at times in the north. Temperatures should be near or slightly above average, though briefly dipping below average with some night frost in any colder periods.
