Weather warnings have been issued for large parts of the UK over the next two days ahead of "miserable" conditions and flood risks forecasted.
The Met Office said the band of rain had reached Cornwall on Wednesday afternoon, and would travel across the country until it passes over Scotland's east coast on Friday.
Conditions could be "miserable" and "atrocious" for much of the UK, while Scottish highlands could see some snow, the forecaster said, as it issued a yellow weather warning over the downpours.
