At present, there are three yellow warnings in place for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Chris Bulmer, said: “At this time is looks like the unsettled conditions will continue into the weekend with a deep low-pressure system probably crossing the UK into Saturday bringing strong winds and rain to some areas. Weather warnings will be issued as the details of the developments and hazards become clearer.

“Given the potential for disruption from this system it is important to keep up to date with the latest forecast.”
