The Met Office has issued three yellow warnings for rain from Wednesday to Friday - but even those living outside the affected areas face 'pretty atrocious conditions'.

Met Office spokesperson Craig Snell said:"The warning areas are where we are most concerned about the risk of flooding - but it doesn't mean that the areas outside them are not going to see some pretty atrocious conditions."

The Midlands and north of England will battle"pretty miserable" conditions on Thursday after the rain sweeps in overnight, Mr Snell added.Snow is also forecast in the Highlands, although this is not unusual for November, Mr Snell said, adding:"If you want to take a walk in the hills in Scotland tomorrow you may come across snow, but for the lower levels it is just going to be rain.
