The UK has been hit with weather warnings for England and Wales by The Met Office.

The weather has been up and down for Britain for the past few weeks (mostly down), and it'll continue to get colder over the next few weeks.

The Met Office have warned that temperatures are set to plunge into the minuses soon, with parts of Scotland seeing some snow on high points of the country.

Cold weather will cause chaos for parts of the UK. Picture: PA

They stated: "Rain will become prolonged and heavy at times during Sunday night and well into Monday across eastern Scotland, moving south into southeast Scotland during the day.

"15-25 mm of rain is expected widely, with the most exposed high ground seeing 40-60 mm.

"Strong east to northeasterly winds are also expected, particularly near coasts where gusts of 50 mph are likely during Monday afternoon."

And not only will we receive cold weather, but heavy rain is predicted for Thursday and Friday this week, with alerts and warnings issued across England and Wales by The Environment Agency and The Met Office.

Both of Wales' alerts are in the south. Picture: Gov

Wales has two alerts in place, with one situated in South Pembrokshire, where river levels in the River Ritec in the Salterns area of Tenby are likely to remain high for a number of days.

The other is by the River Thaw, where river levels remain stable but high throughout the River Thaw catchment.

A lot of England is currently littered with alerts, with 25 across the country today.

There is however, one warning - which is more serious - and it's at the River Derwent at Buttercrambe Mill in the North East.
