The UK looks set to be absolutely hammered by torrential rain as the Met Office issues string of urgent warnings.
The Met Office has issued four yellow weather warnings and one more serious amber warning all across the country as Britons brace for rain and thunderstorms.
The stormy weather is set to cause travel chaos and flooding in areas across the UK - including in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England.
There is also a ‘yellow warning’ for thunderstorms too which covers London and South East England and South West England.
The warnings are in place from today, Wednesday, May 22 until tomorrow - all with different times.
The amber alert is in place from 12 noon today until 12 noon tomorrow.
The warning says: “Rain will become heavy and persistent later Wednesday and Thursday with flooding and disruption likely.”
It adds: “Spray and flooding probably leading to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
“Fast flowing or deep floodwater is likely, causing danger to life.
“A good chance some communities will be cut off by flooded roads.
“Delays and some cancellations to train and bus services are likely.
“Power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses likely.”
