The UK’s cold snap is set to end this week, with temperatures rising today but heavy rain could lead to flooding and travel chaos.
After freezing conditions in recent days, Monday could bring highs of 14C or 15C in south-west England and north Wales, a Met Office meteorologist said.
It comes after -17.3C was in recorded Braemar in Scotland on Tuesday – the coldest temperature since February 2021.The Met has issued yellow weather warnings for rain across southern parts of England and south Wales from 6pm on Sunday to 6am on Tuesday. It said heavy rain could flood some roads, homes and businesses, potentially causing travel disruption.
‘It’s also worth bearing in mind that, preceding this obviously it was so cold, so the grounds were a bit frozen, drains may have been frozen in places,’ Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill said.It could be a brighter start to the week
