Britain's turbulent weather is set to continue with wind and rain to batter the country this week.
Following snow and freezing temperatures at the start of the month, conditions have got milder in recent weeks but that short respite is set to come to an end as the weather turns once again on Tuesday.
There were two flood warnings and 15 flood alerts in place by the Environment Agency across England on Monday as rain hit Britain despite temperatures reaching at least double figures.
Those milder temperatures are likely to hang around on Tuesday but not without wind and rain, particularly in the north of England and the west of the UK.
Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said: "These weather fronts are bringing cloud and outbreaks of rain, straddling the country initially but pushing in and we will see outbreaks of rain across Scotland, northern England, Wales and the south west.
"During the night the rain will trickle its way towards eastern parts of England, easing off a little bit as it does so. Some breaks developing in the cloud further west but staying breezy and pretty mild as well, with temperatures in some towns and cities likely to stick in double figures."
However, there is a threat of potential thunderstorms near the Pennines as further showers make it a soggy start for Wales, northern England and southern Scotland in addition to the increasing winds.
Mr Deakin added: "Another mild day on Tuesday and we are going to start with cloud and some outbreaks of rain over eastern England - raining for much of the day across Shetland, where it will also be breezy.
"The winds will pick up further west, bringing in some showers too for Wales, northern England and southern Scotland. Could be some heavy ones, chance of a thunderstorm particularly over the Pennines.
"But the cloud is a bit more broken and better chance of seeing some blue sky and a bit more sunshine coming through before the next weather system then comes in, bringing a wet afternoon across Northern Ireland and increasingly windy."
