The UK is facing "atrocious" weather conditions with three yellow rain warnings issued for large parts of the nation.

Heavy downpours in Cornwall and Devon are expected to travel north-eastwards across England and Wales, before reaching Scotland's east coast by Friday.

Up to 40mm of rain could fall in the South East, with the first yellow warning in place until 6am on Thursday, stretching east across the coastline from Southampton and the Isle of Wight in Hampshire to Kent.

A second yellow warning has been issued for 24 hours from midnight on Thursday from Birmingham, Lincoln and Hull to north Wales, Liverpool and Manchester and northwards to the Scottish border.

The third warning is in place ahead of a two-day spell of "persistent" rainfall expected in the east coast of Scotland, from the English border to beyond Aberdeen, from 3pm on Thursday until 6pm on Friday.

Up to 70mm of rain could fall over high ground, with up to 100mm possible across the hills of Angus and Aberdeenshire, the Met Office said.

Strong gusts of wind are set to batter coastlines, while deluges bring an increased risk of flooding.

And the "miserable" conditions could be exacerbated by temperatures returning to their average for November, making frost more likely.

Western Britain is likely to bear the brunt of the icy weather, but sub-zero temperatures forecast for Friday night mean frost is expected to be more widespread.
