A 600-mile wall of rain is forecast to sweep across the UK from 27 August, threatening to drench most of the country just as summer draws to a close.
New weather maps from WXCharts show the enormous weather system building in the Atlantic and pushing in from the west. Rainfall totals could reach up to 18cm (7 inches) in higher parts of Wales, with widespread rain expected across much of England and Scotland. The Met Office has warned of 'rather cool' conditions in the aftermath.
