Heavy rain could cause floods in England, possibly leading to submerged areas.
As the rain continues to pour down, parts of England are at risk of flooding due to rising river levels. The northeast in particular is expected to face heavy downpours today, following a weekend of mixed weather across the country with some areas experiencing sunshine while others were drenched in rain.

The Met Office has warned of an unsettled weather pattern, with showers causing river levels to rise in certain parts of the country. This could result in flooding that may impact land, roads, and some properties, potentially causing travel disruptions. The agency has issued flood alerts for the River Rye and Holbeck in North Yorkshire, urging people to avoid low-lying areas and footpaths near watercourses.

In addition, they have advised against attempting to walk or drive through floodwater, as it can be dangerous and unpredictable. It's important to stay alert and follow safety precautions during this time.

Meanwhile, different parts of the UK will experience varying weather conditions today. While the majority of the country is expected to stay dry compared to the weekend, there is a slight chance of rain in the southeast. Temperatures also differ across regions, with London expected to reach highs of 22°C, Manchester at 17°C, Belfast at 16°C, and the north of Scotland at just 13°C.

Honor Criswick, a meteorologist at the Met Office, explains that the driest weather will be seen in the south parts of Wales, central and southern England. These areas can expect clear skies overnight, with a possibility of mist and fog in the morning. However, the rest of the country will experience an unsettled weather pattern, with sunny spells and showers developing, especially in the northern regions.

In the northeast, showers may be heavy at times and there could even be some thunder. The best chance for dry and sunny weather is in the far south and southeast, where temperatures may reach highs of 22 or 23°C. So, if you're looking to soak up some sun, that's the place to be.

Overall, it's important to stay aware of the changing weather conditions and to take necessary precautions, especially in areas at risk of flooding. While some may enjoy the cooler temperatures and rain, others can look forward to warmer weather and sunshine. Let's hope for the best and stay safe during this unsettled weather period.
