Experts have warned Britain to stay safe on rainy weekends, as wet weather could potentially create dangerous driving conditions.

Carol Holt, the environmental agency’s flood customs manager, said: “Extensive and incessant heavy rainfall could cause flooding in some areas over the weekend.”

He added: “Environmental teams are working hard to clear the grill and weeds in the affected areas.

“We urge people to stay away from the swollen river and not to drive in the flood waters – it is often deeper than you see and the flowing water is just 30 cm enough to float your car.”

Next week will be unsettled but heavy rain and wind are expected to be comfortable.

The Met Office said: “As we see next week the rain is slowly receding and we will see a mixture of sunshine and showers.

“But overall it’s going to be chilly and very carefree.”

Netflix meteorologist Nick Finis said: “The lows were still sitting in the central regions on Monday, but with the full winds, more rains will start for the low-lying areas prevailing in the lowlands.

“It will feel pleasant in the sun in any dry and bright mantras. The temperature has reached 13-16C.”
