January’s wet and miserable streak shows no sign of letting up.

The Met Office has issued yellow heavy rain warnings for Monday and Tuesday, with risk of flooding damaging homes and causing transport misery.

Tomorrow’s warnings spread across a large part of Northern Ireland, Wales, the south west, and the south.

They are in place from 3pm until midday on Tuesday.

Tuesday’s alert spreads across the east covering much of London and Kent and comes into place from midnight.

Met Office chief forecaster Steve Willington said: ‘Unsettled conditions will continue through the week, with a combination of rain, brisk winds and some further hill snow, particularly in northern areas where colder air remains in place.

‘While many areas will see typical late January conditions, there is enhanced potential for some impactful weather on Monday night into Tuesday.’
