Description

Heavy rain and flooding are expected to hit parts of the UK this weekend, with significant risks to life from fast-flowing rivers. Yellow and amber weather warnings have been issued for western Scotland, Northern Ireland, parts of western Wales, northwest England, and Cumbria. Over two hundred millimeters of rain is possible in Cumbria, leading to dangerous conditions and potential damage to homes and businesses. The Environment Agency and flood duty manager are working to reduce impacts and support affected communities. People are advised to follow local advice, sign up for flood warnings, and stay updated. While some areas will see showers, the southern half of the UK is expected to be dry and bright. Unsettled and mostly mild weather will continue, but high pressure may bring colder, drier, and more settled conditions closer to Christmas.
