UK weather: Brits face travel chaos and homes could be FLOODED this weekend as 4 inches of rain batters the country
BRITS face travel chaos this weekend and homes could be FLOODED with four inches of rain due to batter the country.
According to The Met Office, an active jet stream is to bring a change to the weather with a series of low pressure systems across the UK this weekend and beyond.
From tomorrow England, Wales and Scotland will be hit with torrential heavy downpours.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Steve Ramsdale, said; “A new area of low-pressure, this time moving across England and Wales, arrives on Saturday night then slowly clears to the east on Sunday.
“This brings wet and windy weather to the country, particularly Wales, and we have issued a Yellow National Severe Weather Warning for rain for this.

“As the system pulls away from the UK there will be another short lived, colder and more settled spell Monday night with one or two wintry showers possible over high ground in Scotland and perhaps a frost elsewhere.”
A weather caution for rain in parts of Wales has been issued for Sunday – with the Met office warning the heavy rain could cause major disruption.
The Yellow warning means bus and train services could be affected with journey times taking longer – while spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer.
And the downpours also mean homes and businesses could be flooded.
Weather chiefs also believe the horrid conditions could continue well into next week.
The Met Office is expecting another “deep low-pressure system” on Wednesday.
They added: “The development of this system will be closely watched as it brings another wet and windy day with the potential for National Severe Weather Warnings to be issued.”
