Britain will endure further torrential downpours today with up to four inches of rain set to fall as communities continue to recover from devastating floods.
The Met Office has issued three separate yellow rain warnings for the UK today: one for the Midlands and South of England and Wales until 9am tomorrow; a second for North East England for the whole day; and a third for Northern Ireland until 12pm.
The highest rainfall totals are likely across the Pennines and North York Moors where up to 100mm (3.9in) could accumulate over the whole day, while there could also be thunderstorms and strong winds in the southern half of the UK this afternoon.
Forecasters warned fast flowing or deep floodwater could pose a danger to life, as well as power cuts, flooded properties, travel disruption and spray on roads.
Some communities could even be cut off by flooded roads after parts of the country saw twice the average monthly average rainfall in 48 hours earlier this week.
Further downpours will follow in central and southern areas tomorrow morning, but the rain is set to clear later in the day leaving conditions much colder on Saturday.
The weekend will start drier, but with frequent showers in western Scotland and Northern Ireland. Then on Sunday night, strong winds and heavy rain will move in.

The highest rainfall totals are likely across the Pennines and North York Moors where 80mm (3.1in) to 100mm (3.9in) could accumulate on Thursday, while others within the warning area could see 20mm (0.8in) to 30mm (1.2in) quite widely.
