UK Faces Torrential Rain After Snowfall
21 Nov
Summary
- Heavy snow has fallen across the UK, with some areas seeing up to 7cm.
- Intense rain is predicted to hit from the west, starting Friday midday.
- Flood alerts are in place as rain could worsen conditions.
Wintry conditions, including significant snowfall of up to 7cm and sub-zero temperatures, have affected various parts of the UK over the past two days. This snowfall is predicted to dissipate into heavy rain showers as the weekend approaches.
A substantial rain system is set to make landfall on Friday midday, originating from the west coast. Scotland and Northern Ireland are expected to experience the initial heavy rainfall, with specific hourly rates forecasted for areas like the Scottish Highlands and Glasgow, and Belfast.
As the weekend progresses, the rain will spread across the rest of the UK, reaching the Midlands and southern England by Saturday morning. With flood alerts already in effect for some areas, particularly along the River Severn, the incoming rain raises concerns about worsening conditions and potential flooding.
