UK weather: Strong winds and heavy rain to batter the country as Met Office warnings issued - Sky News

The UK is braced for more strong wind and heavy rain this weekend, with gusts of up to 70mph possible in some areas.

Warnings have been issued for much of the country on Saturday - with potential for flooding and disruption on the roads and public transport.

Irish Sea coast areas could get 70mph winds, while gusts up to 55mph are possible in the Midlands, northern England and Northern Ireland, the Met Office said.

Heavy rain alerts are also in force this morning on the Dorset and Devon coast, and a broad stretch from Derbyshire up to Cumbria until 3am on Sunday.

Southwest Scotland and a large part of Northern Ireland also have a rain warning in place for most of Saturday.

The Met Office said up to 8cm of rain could fall in some areas.

However, it will be warmer than recent days - with temperatures this afternoon ranging from about 13C in southern England, the Midlands and Wales, 9-11C in the North East, and 8C in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

"We're in for a wet and windy weekend...There's a possibility of flooding because of the already saturated ground," said Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon.

"By the afternoon most of the heavy wind and rain will have passed and it will just be showers for southern areas," he added.

"We will also be seeing some quite strong winds in Wales, the Midlands, northern England and Northern Ireland, particularly coastal communities around the Irish Sea."

It comes about a week after some areas - such as Cumbria and the North East - saw significant snowfall and freezing temperatures.
