Motorists are being warned to stay off the roads as cars have become stuck in flood water caused by downpours and the UK prepares to suffer “miserable conditions” over the next two days.
The Met Office issued weather alerts as a band of rain, which arrived in Cornwall on Wednesday afternoon, travels across the country before passing over Scotland’s east coast on Friday.
Conditions may be “atrocious” for much of the UK, while the Scottish highlands could see some snow, the forecaster said as it put out a yellow warning for rain.
