UK weather: Storm Sebastien will bring heavy rain, more floods and risk of snow

Hits the south of England on Tuesday

More flooding looks to be on the way this week – with Storm Sebastien expected to bring three inches of rain in the latest wintry washout.

The 900 mile wide tropical storm is also forecast to include 50mph gales – whipping up waves expected to be 22ft tall – when it hits the south of England on Tuesday.

Yellow weather warnings have been issued across the south west and south Wales and it is believed they will remain in place until Wednesday.

But temperatures will also plummet later in the week as cold polar air arrives – and it could be very chilly for most of the next two weeks.

Snow could also make an appearance in both the north and the south, with experts predicting a drop to below freezing.

“It’s floods then freeze this week, with -5C possible by Saturday night and snow risks in the north,” Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze told the tabloid.

However, Monday night is expected to be misty and cloudy, with light showers scattered throughout the UK.
