Anyone hoping for relief from the wet weather may be disappointed next week, with more flooding expected in the UK and patches of snow forecast.

The Environment Agency has issued 73 flood warnings, meaning flooding is expected, mainly in areas of the south-west of England and the Midlands. There are also 177 flood alerts – which indicate possible flooding – in place across England.

According to Natural Resources Wales, two flood alerts are in place in South Pembrokeshire and the Lower Severn catchment in Powys. The Met Office said blustery showers will spread across many areas overnight on Sunday, with chilly temperatures for many and frost in the north.

Monday will bring sunny spells and showers, with some heavy rainfall expected. There is also a risk of hail and thunderstorms, as well as snow showers in the far north. It will be largely drier and brighter on Tuesday.

There will be the risk of some rain and snow in the south on Wednesday and Thursday, but will be mostly dry in the north, according to the Met Office. Although there are no weather warnings currently in place, the Met Office said it may have to issue them as conditions evolve later this week.

The UK has seen seemingly incessant rainfall for many locations in recent weeks. Provisional statistics published earlier this month by the Met Office show that Northern Ireland experienced its wettest January in 149 years and second wettest on record.

Southern England also recorded its sixth wettest January since the series began in 1836. Parts of Devon, Cornwall and Worcestershire had seen rainfall for 40 consecutive days, according to the Met Office earlier this month.

Since the beginning of this year, storms Goretti, Ingrid and Chandra also brought misery for people and businesses with flooding in several regions, including Devon and Somerset.

The wet weather is not expected to ease next weekend, with longer spells of rain predicted to continue into Friday and the weekend.

The Met Office said it is likely to be unsettled as we enter into the weekend, but there will be some drier interludes between weather systems that will may become more prolonged.
