The latest deluge will sweep in from the west and will particularly affect the North of England. 

The north-west of Scotland will also be affected by the band of wet weather. 

As the rain sweeps across the country, some areas will also see hailstorms and blistering winds. 

However, the weather will subside by Tuesday morning despite unleashing a month’s worth of rain.

The rain will coincide with a drop in temperatures, which soared to highs of 16C. 

London will be the warmest area of the UK mainland, enjoying temperatures of 9C. 

Meanwhile, Northern Scotland will face a much colder 5C as temperatures return to their seasonal normal. 

The year so far has seen the strongest storm in a decade, when Storm Eowyn struck

The storm brought gusts of wind which measured up to 114mph, smashing records. 

Drivers battled floods once again on February 24, when four inches of rain fell in just a matter of hours. 

The Met Office issued an amber weather warning for some areas of Wales and suggested that the conditions presented a “danger to life”.

13 flood warnings remained in place as of 1.30pm that same day, as the Environment Agency warned that just 30cm of water is enough to float your car.

Met Office meteorologist Kathryn Chalk said in a forecast on YouTube: “After an unsettled Sunday, most of us should see a good deal of sunny spells as we go through Monday but we still hold on to some heavy spells of rain so it is still a damp start so take care during rush hour there could be some spray on the road.

“The band of rain will clear its way eastwards and behind that we should see brighter skies developing.

“There will be a few showers bubbling up especially across the southern parts of England into London and East Anglia.

“Frequent showers across Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland where they could turn heavy, possibly with the odd rumble of thunder.”

Sarah Cook, flood duty manager at the Environment Agency, also said heavy and persistent rain had brought “a risk of significant inland flooding in parts of south and mid Wales”.

She added that localised flooding was also possible in south-west England and Cumbria on Monday morning.

Ms Cook said: “Impacts could include river flooding and surface water flooding from urban watercourses, drains and channels.

“Please plan journeys carefully and do not drive through flood water – it is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm of flowing water is enough to float your car.”
