Weather warnings are in place until Sunday

However, the terrible conditions are set to continue until Sunday - with yellow weather warnings in place until then.

Much of east Scotland has been warned of persistent and heavy rain today, Friday and Saturday which could cause further flooding.

And now the Met Office have also put the southeast of England under a rain warning from midnight Saturday until 6am Sunday.

However, the weather will continue to be unsettled with further rain or showers for many.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Frank Saunders, said: “As we head through the rest of the week low pressure systems in the Atlantic will feed weather fronts across the UK, bringing rain and showers for many.

“High pressure close to Scandinavia acts to block the progress of weather fronts, causing them to stall at times, bringing prolonged, heavy rainfall for some, particularly to the West and south. 

“There will also be more rainfall feeding in from the east coast into eastern Scotland and northeast England, areas so badly impacted by Storm Babet. 

“This rainfall won’t be as heavy as last week’s but has the potential to cause some further impacts, or perhaps to delay recovery and repair work.”
