And the chaos is set to continue, with flooding expected to cause trouble for thousands.

“Elsewhere there will be a few showers at first, otherwise it will be fine with sunny spells. Blustery, with strong winds along some coasts,” it continued.
“Tonight, rain in the north will ease and patchy fog and frost will form under clear skies. Rain and strong winds reaching southwest England by late evening and spreading northeast overnight.”
The Met Office also issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain which is expected to batter parts of western Scotland from midday.
