UK weather: Met Office issues SNOW warning as ‘heavy rain’ risks flooding, travel delays & ‘difficult’ road conditions

THE Met Office have issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain and snow next week.

Forecasters said low pressure is likely to dominate bringing heavy showers and longer spells of rain across the UK.

It also issued a yellow weather alert covering much of Scotland’s north east from midnight until midday on Tuesday.

The Met Office warning read: “Rain and snow has the potential to cause disruption in places, mainly to travel, with snow focused over high ground.”

There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded by the downpour.

Floods could also spark train and bus delays – and even some cancellations.

Wet roads will make for tricky driving, with some road closures possible.

And several rural communities in the Highlands could be cut off by flooding.
