Storm Bert will strike from Saturday with Britons told to brace for heavy rain, 70mph winds and snow blizzards after a week of snow and sub-zero temperatures.
The Met Office issued snow, ice, wind and rain warnings for all of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as for the North, Midlands and South West of England.
And a separate yellow warning for up to 5in of rain was imposed for most of Wales and parts of Devon and Cornwall from 6am on Saturday until 6am on Sunday. 'We expect 50mm to 75mm of rainfall quite widely within the warning areas, but in excess of 100mm is possible over high ground in parts of Wales and South West England.'
Unsettled weather is likely to continue into next week, as the country faces strong winds and showers. Temperatures will be around average, but strong winds will make it feel cold. South of the border, 89 schools are shut in Devon today, 18 in Dorset and 60 in Cornwall, while in Wales around 10 are closed in Conwy, 18 in Denbighshire and two in Wrexham.
'Overnight temperatures will drop below zero fairly widely over the next few days, which has resulted in some ice warnings, with further warnings likely through this week.
