Warning of heavy rain and possibly snow
Date published: 22 January 2014
Valid from: 06.00 on Sun 26 Jan 2014 to: 23.45 on Sun 26 Jan 2014
Another spell of wet and very windy weather will cross the UK from the west during Sunday.
Heavy rain and gales are likely to affect most areas for a time with further flooding possible in prone areas where the ground remains saturated following earlier rain.
The public should be aware of the possible disruption to transport and the continuing risk of flooding in prone areas.
Another Atlantic frontal system is forecast to cross the UK during Sunday. Most areas will see a period of heavy rain and very strong winds, perhaps also some snow for a time over northern hills.
Expect southerly gusts 40 to 50 mph quite widely, particularly with the passage of the front, and probably peaking 60 to 70 mph or more around exposed coasts and headlands.
There is still some considerable uncertainty in the details of this system and this warning will be updated in the coming days.
