UK set for up to 10 more days of wet weather, forecasters warn
Flood alerts and yellow warnings cover southern and western England, south Wales, and parts of Scotland as saturated ground raises flood risk, with over 100 flood warnings active, Met Office says.
- On Thursday , the Met Office issued two yellow rain warnings as heavy rain arrived overnight from Plymouth to Portsmouth and parts of south Wales.
- A southerly, meandering jet stream has shifted south, creating blocked weather patterns while Scandinavia high pressure and southeasterly airflow steer showery rain northwards over the UK.
- Record rainfall in parts of the country has seen Cornwall have its wettest January, Exeter Airport record daily rain this year, and Aberdeen exceed usual monthly rainfall while the Isle of Wight nears 97% of February rainfall.
- The Environment Agency has issued more than 60 flood warnings and 149 'possible' flood alerts, with forecasters warning that bus and train services could face delays and brief power interruptions.
- Forecasters say the outlook remains unsettled right into next month with occasional drier spells, and until the pattern "unblocks" more rain and colder, wintry risks could come next week.
