More rain! Britain will be hit by thundery showers across the weekend with more floods on way, Met Office says

Typical British weather is back in full swing this weekend with thundery showers set to sweep across the country and more flooding on the way,the Met Office says.

A new band of 'heavy and thundery rain' will arrive on the south coast on Saturday and move northwards overnight,affecting central and southern England and Wales,the Met Office said.

While there are no weather warnings currently in place there is the potential for more to be issued after several earlier this week,the forecaster said.

People heading to the historic Goodwood Revival motor race meeting in West Sussex this morning wore their wellington boots with their period outfits as they waded through thick mud whipped up by rain over night.

It comes after earlier heavy rain lashed southern England and Wales on Thursday and Friday.

An initial band of cloud and patchy rain will scatter across England and Wales on Saturday before a further band of heavy and thundery rain arrives in the far south later in the day,the Met Office said.

Lengthy sunny and dry spells are still expected further north in a continuation of recent days,but conditions will be turning cloudier and more mild.

The showers will continue to move northwards into Sunday when spells of heavy rain will affect many central and southern areas.

Cooler,fresher temperatures are widely expected across the country into next week with a generally unsettled outlook,the forecaster added.
