UK weather: Met Office warns of heavy rain and floods causing travel chaos as Brits brace for three days of havoc
THE Met Office is warning of heavy rain and floods causing travel chaos.
Brits are being told to brace for three days of havoc as meteorologists issue alerts across the country for the rest of January.
A yellow warning for rain is in place on Monday, affecting the north of England.
Leeds, York, Middlesbrough and Durham will be battered by intense downpours - as the Met Office predicts "heavy rain may lead to some flooding and impacts to travel".
The alert, which has been extended east, is in place from midday until 5am on Tuesday.
Flooding to homes and businesses is "possible", say the Met, while flooding on roads is predicted to impact bus travel.
Train services are also expected to take longer as the rain lashes down with rail strikes also causing problems this week.
As we head to the middle of the week, a yellow warning for wind has also been issued.
The weather service is expecting strong winds to cause disruption on Wednesday for Scotland.
According to forecasters, gusts of 70 to 80mph are expected in the region.
