Britain is set to be hit by a wave of dropping temperatures and downpours as a ‘big beast’ weather system moves in. Currently the country which is sodden has 30 Environment Agency flood warnings in place and 83 flood alerts.
Nottingham is set for heavy rain all day on Tuesday, January 9, with strong winds gusting at about 22mph and unsettled weather persisting for the rest of the week. The Met Office says: “Remaining unsettled for the rest of the week, with outbreaks of rain and showers interspersed with drier, brighter periods. Temperatures generally around average, but with some chilly nights.”
The massive low-pressure vortex described as a “big beast” is about to wedge itself off the west coast and is set to bring in stormy weather fronts in from the Atlantic, the Star reports. The Met Office has warned that later in the month from January 13 - 22 there will be periods of gales, rain and heavy rain, with some snow in the north and colder temperatures in general.
