Another weekend washout is forecast in the UK from today as rain ruins the end of the week for many and more flooding is expected.

The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for rain in southern and north-west Scotland which will last all day.

It warns heavy rain and some snow melt may lead to travel disruption in Scotland and there are still some 153 flood warnings in place across the country.

Today, Saturday will see patchy rain in southern England while the north and Scotland face torrential downpours.

Weather Outlook maps show the rain clearing by the evening.
