UK weather LIVE: Met Office warning as more heavy storms set to batter Britain in weeks

More destructive storms are set to batter the UK in weeks, Met Office has warned tonight.

From tomorrow, there is at least one yellow weather warning for rain until and including Saturday. Met Office Chief Meteorologist Frank Saunders, said: "As we head through the rest of the week low pressure systems in the Atlantic will feed weather fronts across the UK, bringing rain and showers for many.

"High pressure close to Scandinavia acts to block the progress of weather fronts, causing them to stall at times, bringing prolonged, heavy rainfall for some, particularly to the West and south. There will also be more rainfall feeding in from the east coast into eastern Scotland and northeast England, areas so badly impacted by Storm Babet. This rainfall won’t be as heavy as last week’s but has the potential to cause some further impacts, or perhaps to delay recovery and repair work."

And next week, southern regions will experience the heaviest rain and frost overnight. Met Office website reads: "How far south this colder weather extends early next week is uncertain, but is likely to be relatively short-lived as Atlantic systems make inroads from the west or southwest early in November. This will maintain the broadly unsettled and at times windy weather, with further periods of persistent rain possible. Milder conditions will also probably return back north to most if not all parts of the UK."

The website continues that, between Thursday November 9 and Thursday November 23, there will be an uncertain period, in which the UK may well find itself in a "battleground between high pressure located to the north or northeast and low pressure to the south or southwest".

"It is currently quite unclear as to which one, if indeed either, wins out, but the greatest chance of above average rainfall will be further to the south, especially through the first part of this period," the website reads.

"Increasing incidences of drier, settled weather are more likely later in the period and more generally further to the north. Temperatures will most likely average out near to a little above normal for most, but as we delve deeper into autumn, the chances of some colder spells increases."

An average month's worth of rain will lash parts of the UK in just 24 hours this week - and increase further flood risks in spots already ravaged by Storm Babet.

Up to 125mm of rain will batter the country on Sunday as a large band of low pressure sweeps across the UK from the east. The worst-affected parts include places which experienced flooding in the wake of Storm Babet, including Aberdeenshire, Moray and the surrounding areas.
