The washout comes as many parts of the country continue to deal with the aftermath of flooding that sparked instances of travel chaos and even multiple school closures
Brits are set to face a deluge of rain that could leave their homes and businesses at risk of flooding.
The Environment Agency has issued more than 40 flood warnings across the UK with flooding expected in parts of central and northern England. It comes as Brits continue to reel from earlier flooding that sparked travel chaos and even school closures in parts of the country just days ago.
The Met Office issued an amber warning for parts of the Midlands, Oxfordshire and East Anglia and stated that areas could be cut off due to flooding or ,that flood waters could even enter homes and buildings. A yellow rain warning is also in place for other parts of England, ranging from the South West to the South East, the Midlands to East Anglia as well as central and southern Wales.
“That rain already coming on top of saturated areas from earlier this week,” said Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern. “Now, it’s been raining hard across Northern Ireland and northern England through the day because of this weather front. It’s also been windy.
“That wind and rain starts to sink south overnight and under this area of low pressure we’re seeing some slow moving, heavy thundery downpours. All of this merges to give a longer spell of very wet weather through parts of Wales, central England into East Anglia. You can see this line of intense rain that lasts for several hours.”
The amber rain warning is in place until 6am tomorrow morning (Friday, September 27). Meanwhile, the yellow rain warning is in place until 9am tomorrow.
