Britain is bracing for a significant deluge as a massive 641-mile rain bomb approaches, with forecasts indicating heavy rainfall across the country on October 8. Areas from Inverness to Plymouth are expected to be particularly affected, with temperatures plummeting to as low as 2°C in certain regions.
The Met Office has already issued two yellow weather warnings for rain, affecting parts of northern and eastern England as well as north Wales. Reports suggest that some areas could receive a month's worth of rain by Tuesday morning, with anticipated totals ranging from 60 to 80mm (2.5 to 3 inches) on already saturated ground.
These severe weather conditions come on the heels of recent flooding and thunderstorms that have plagued the region. Numerous flood warnings are currently in place, particularly across the Midlands and south-west England, following a week of relentless rain.
