BRITS are set to be hit with at least five days of downpours after a warm and sunny spring weekend.
Heavy rain, wind and even snow is set to sweep across the country – with a yellow warning in place for parts of the UK tomorrow.

A band of rain is moving across the UK
The Met Office issued a yellow weather alert covering much of Scotland’s north east on Tuesday
It comes after Brits were treated to a day of sunshine yesterday, with temperatures reaching as high as 14 degrees.
But forecasters say the short-lived Spring will end today as a band of rain moves across the country.
The Met Office say: “Rain will spread across much of the UK this morning, but it will stay dry and cloudy in the southeast.
“Turning windy in southwest and eastern coasts, feeling chilly. Hill snow will start to fall in eastern Scotland this afternoon.”
A spokesperson for the Met Office said it will be “unsettled across the majority of the UK” for the rest of the week.
Strong gusts of winds and intense rain is expected to batter Brits in the run-up to the bank holiday.
The weather service said: “Through the bank holiday weekend and into the following week, unsettled or changeable weather remains the most likely outcome.
“All areas are likely to see further rain or showers at times, with some drier spells in between, but wet weather will tend to favour the southwest while northern parts remain a bit drier on average.”
Tomorrow much of the northeast of Scotland will be under a yellow weather alert for rain and snow.
The Met Office warning read: “Rain and snow has the potential to cause disruption in places, mainly to travel, with snow focused over high ground.”
There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded by the downpours.
It comes after Meteorologist Alex Deakin said “hail storms” are likely to hit soon.
