Met Office points yellow climate warnings as UK to be hit by post-Christmas wind
The Met Office has issued a yellow climate warning as Britain is about to be lashed by extreme rain and aggressive winds simply hours after Christmas ends.
The alert, which begins at 3am on Wednesday (December 27), cautions houses and corporations about potential flooding within the hardest-hit spots. This marks areas spanning Greater Manchester, the Lake District, Yorkshire, the Pennines, and south-west Scotland.
And it is going to be sticking round till round 6pm. In addition, it was talked about that outbreaks of heavy rain “will move northeastwards across northern England and southern Scotland during Wednesday”.

A spokesman for the Met Office mentioned: “Across the warning area 20-30 mm of rain is expected to accumulate quite widely. Over higher ground of the Pennines, Lake District and Southern Uplands, 40-60 mm is likely during this period with as much as 70-90 mm in a few locations.
“Strong winds will probably exacerbate any impacts from the rain. Snow can also be probably for a short while throughout greater floor, though it will rapidly flip to rain.”
