Met Office warns of torrential rain and high winds - with SNOW possible for some

Keep those cagoules handy as downpours will continue to batter the country this week.

Flood alerts were imposed across the UK as the dismal weather continued to pound the country.

Heavy showers are expected to continue, with strong winds and coastal gales sweeping through parts of the north, and pushing from west to east.

­Meanwhile, a flurry of snow hit parts of northern Scotland last night as temperatures fell.

Forecasters say that snow will also be seen in other parts of the north, especially on the western hills.

Jonathan Vautrey, of the Met Office, said: “Unsettled weather is looking like it will continue throughout the rest of the new working week, so there will be further outbreaks of rain and showers.

"Windy as well, certainly as we head toward Wednesday and that will take an edge off the temperature.”

A flood warning was in place for Keswick Campsite in Cumbria last night with 14 flood alerts in place across England.

Parts of Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire and Shropshire, were all at risk.

The northern part of the Lake District bore the brunt of rain at the weekend.

Ian Simpson, a forecaster for Netweather, said: “Storms will be most likely across eastern Wales, Midlands and northern England.

“Storms may be ­accompanied by hail and may produce flooding.”

Rainfall will be heaviest over high ground in the west, WXCharts show.
