Flood-hit UK braced for more rain

Britain is set to be hit by more heavy rain following severe floods which claimed the lives of four people. Forecasters say up 50mm of rain could fall in parts of the country on Saturday, and the Met Office has issued an early warning of severe weather. There is expected to be rainfall of 15-25mm on Saturday, although some places could see 40-50mm. BBC weather forecaster Jay Wynne said: "Today it's a pretty reasonable day. One or two light showers. There will be some rain overnight. "The main event is going to be this weekend. There will be plenty of wet, windy weather across the country on Saturday."It could be quite nasty. The good thing is it's not going to be a stalled weather front where it's stuck in the same place. This system will be moving through." (BBC News)
