THE UK is set to be battered by heavy winds today, while the end of the week is expected to bring heavy rain and flood warnings.
The weather chaos comes after downpours and melting snow caused rivers to burst their banks yesterday, prompting 69 flood warnings and leaving drivers stranded.
A yellow wind warning was in place for Scotland today, which the Met Office said could cause travel delays.
On Friday, southern parts of Wales and southwest England were both in for heavy rain.
While Wales' rain could cause "flooding and travel disruption", England was in for a heavier dose, with the Met Office warning of potential flooding and power outages.
The rain would stick around on Saturday, but was expected to ease by the end of the weekend.
The weekend was also expected to bring warmer temperatures, with Met Office suggesting it might get up to 17C in parts.
Drivers were left stranded on Tuesday morning after the start of the week caused temperatures to soar to 13C.
This prompted the ten inches of snow that blanketed Britain last week to melt, causing widespread flooding.
Temperatures plunged to -23C - the coldest night in 65 years - but a sharp rise in the mercury in the days following melted the snow and sparked flood warnings across the UK.
The Environment Agency warned: "Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses, and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded."
Motorists battled flooded roads near Ely in Cambridgeshire on Tuesday morning after heavy rain overnight.
It comes after the River Great Ouse burst its banks as the snow and ice thawed.
Chief Meteorologist Neil Armstrong of the Met Office said: “For the past week the UK has been in a very cold airmass with temperatures well below average.
"This will change through the weekend as milder air moves in from the Atlantic and pushes that cold airmass out into the North Sea.
“From Monday the whole UK will be in the warmer air mass, with daytime temperatures reaching 12-13C in the south, replacing days which never got above freezing the week before.”
On Wednesday night last week, the UK’s coldest temperature for 65 years was recorded in Aberdeenshire when locals endured -23C.
