BRITS are bracing for more rain – as the nation is hit by flood warnings and the Met Office forecasts a “huge shift” this weekend.
The Environment Agency has issued 13 “expected” flood warnings and 132 “possible” flood alerts across England.

South west England will probably be hit by floods, and some rivers could burst their banks in the Midlands.
There is a chance of more flooding tomorrow in the south west and the north west – sparking travel chaos.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has issued amber flood alerts for Aberdeenshire, Tayside, Dundee and Angus.
In Wales, amber flood alerts have also been issued for south Pembrokeshire and the River Thaw.
Met Office expert Alex Burkill said “a very active jet stream is developing in the Atlantic”.
The ocean blast will bring more wet and windy weather to the UK, Burkill added.
But today will be mild and bright, with sunny spells for many despite some showers in England and Wales.
Clouds will thicken in the west overnight, spritzing Brits with drizzle and fog.
Tomorrow will be grey, with rain pushing eastwards and turning heavy in the evening.
But Sunday and Monday will be dry with more spells of winter sunshine – before the Atlantic blast churns the skies again.
