Brits are set for a soaking this week with a month’s rain due to fall in just 48 hours as forecasters warn of a North South divide come Christmas Day.
After weeks of sub-zero temperatures people have been told to expect the mercury to reach 15C in south-west England and north Wales, today thanks to a milder air arriving from the Atlantic.
The sudden thaw is set to cause havoc across the country as the Environment Agency has put out 12 flood warnings and 42 flood alerts for the nation.
