No End in Sight’ After Parts of UK See Rain Every Day so Far This Year
Yellow rain warnings predict 20-80mm of rain with flood risks for homes and travel disruptions across many UK regions, including south England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
- On Friday, the Met Office issued a yellow rain warning from 5am Thursday to 9pm Friday for parts of Wales, south-west and south-east England and the West Midlands, warning there is no end in sight to the rain.
- Mr. Stroud explained that 'very little in the way of change, and the reason for it really is that we've got a big area of high pressure way out to the far north and east of the country and that's stopping areas of low pressure from moving through,' maintaining wet conditions.
- On Saturday morning, heavy showers will continue in the south before pushing into parts of England and Wales covered by the yellow warning, which predicts 20-30mm of rain with some areas seeing more than 50mm, and higher ground in Northern Ireland could face up to 80mm.
- Homes and businesses face flood risk as grounds remain saturated, with surface-water flooding likely; transport operators warn journey times and power supplies may be briefly disrupted, and Northern Ireland has a yellow warning until midnight Friday.
- Forecasters predict rain will still fall daily in those areas by Sunday after south‑west England and South Wales saw January rainfall about 50% above usual, worsening flood risk.
