There was chaos this morning as a deluge of rain overnight caused flooding in several parts of the country.

In Birmingham, an SUV driver had to be rescued by emergency services after becoming trapped in flash floods.

As well as flood warnings, which mean ‘flooding is expected’, the Environment Agency has issued a further 112 flood alerts, where ‘flooding is possible’.

The Met Office issued an amber weather warning for areas of the Midlands and parts of southern England that came into force at 6pm last night and ended 6am this morning.

A yellow warning for most of England and Wales and western parts of Northern Ireland was already in place but has now also ended.

There are currently no Met Office warnings in place for the rest of today.

This afternoon is expected to be brighter with sunny spells and some scattered showers across much of the UK.

It will feel a bit colder than the last few days, with a brisk northerly wind, according to Met Office forecasters.

Saturday should be dry in most places with sunny spells. A scattering of showers is forecast across northwestern parts, most frequent in Scotland.

It will be a rather cold-feeling day for many, with winds easing.

Sunday will start dry and fine for many, but wind and rain will move in from southwest, with a Yellow warning for southwest England and parts of Wales issued by the Met Office.

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Holley said: ‘After a drier interlude for many on Friday, Saturday and early Sunday, attention shifts to a deep area of low pressure to the southwest which will bring rain and strong winds to parts of the UK, potentially impactful for some.
