British weather: Met Office warns of more heavy rain today – as Brits brace for flooding and travel chaos – The Sun

Britons have been warned of more heavy rain today as the country braces for flooding and travel chaos.

The torrential rains saw rivers overflown their banks and roads cut off just as millions of people were overwhelmed yesterday during a day of floods.

And today will see similar rain showers, with a yellow warning for the rain rolled out.

The alert covers most of the south-east, London and East Anglia, the With office.

Bus and train services are likely to be affected, as are motorists warned of longer travel times.

Splashing and flooding on roads are expected to slow traffic, while flooding of some homes and businesses in the yellow warning zone is likely.

There may also be an interruption of power supply and other services.

The weather warning applies until Sunday afternoon.

With office meteorologist Craig Snell said: “As we get through the weekend it will be a bit drier across the country.

“The rain area that swept over us on Saturday will disappear towards Europe.

“That will allow this ridge of high pressure to build before Sunday, allowing for something drier and brighter to develop.

“It's a fairly mild start to the day on Sunday, a still wet start in the south-east and some heavy rain at times.

“But that will clear towards France as we head towards lunchtime and that will mean that many eastern parts will have a fairly decent afternoon, a mix of cloud and sunny spells.”

Sunday will start gloomy with outbreaks of rain that will gradually clear up in the east.

Most will enjoy a drier afternoon with some clear spells, but isolated showers can be expected.

On Sunday, highs of 15 degrees Celsius in London, 14 degrees Celsius in Southampton, 13 degrees Celsius in Belfast, 12 degrees Celsius in Manchester and 11C in Edinburgh.

During this evening and night there will be occasional showers, but it will remain dry.

Recent floods have caused chaos for millions of Brits, including one Tees side couple left with an “unusable” garden due to flooding from a nearby field.

Daniel and Judith Mulloy, in their 70s, say their garden in Billingham is as an “outdoor pool” and reportedly rotted out their shed.

Their son Daniel claims the couple cannot even access their own bins due to the ordeal which has left them housebound.

The flood also forced Mark Dixon and his three-year-old son to trudge through the sewers, while flooding caused chaos in Chalfont St Peter, Bucks.

Mr. Dixon told it MailOnline: “It's an absolute farce, it's been going on for years.

“This kept leaving foam and contaminated rubbish on the pavement and it was not cleared up, but everyone just walked through it.”

Clouds are expected to come from the west on Monday morning, but it will remain dry.

This cloud will slowly disappear throughout Monday afternoon and plenty of sunny periods are expected.

Highs of 14 degrees Celsius are expected in London and 13 degrees Celsius in London on Monday Hull and 10C in Glasgow.

Tuesday will be a cloudy day but it will remain dry for many, but the Met Office warns that some areas will see isolated showers.

Unfortunately, the drier weather is not expected to last for long, with more unsettled weather expected on Wednesday.

Longer spells of rain and stronger winds are expected to affect much of Britain, but it should become clearer and drier by Wednesday afternoon.

More rain is expected on Thursday.
