After the intense winds and downpours from Storm Ashley<\/a>,\u00a0Britain is expecting additional significant rains this week<\/strong>, further impacting already saturated areas. However, high pressure will provide a brief break with warmer conditions, rain clouds are expected to return by Friday<\/strong>, raising fears about more floods.<\/p>\n

Current Situation and Flood Warnings<\/h3>\n

Currently, over 100 flood warnings remain in place across the UK, with many areas still recovering from Storm Ashley’s heavy rain. The Met Office<\/strong><\/a> confirmed that as Storm Ashley moves northeast, winds will ease<\/strong>, leading to a mix of sunshine and scattered showers. However, frequent rain in the southeast<\/strong> is likely to persist.<\/p>\n

Weather maps from WXCharts<\/strong> show a large weather front<\/strong> approaching from the Atlantic. Early on Friday, central and eastern parts of the UK will see up to 10 mm of rain per hour<\/strong>, particularly around southern regions such as Southampton.<\/p>\n

By 3 a.m. Friday<\/strong>, this rain will spread, impacting a wider area across central and eastern England, with 5 mm of rain per hour<\/strong> expected in several regions.<\/p>\n
