BRITS are being soaked by heavy rain with yellow weather warnings in place for the next three days – but sunshine is around the corner.
The UK is set to be battered by more wet and blustery conditions for the remainder of this week after the first storm of the season brought winds of 87mph.
With winter just around the corner and the mornings becoming a lot darker, Wednesday will get off to a chilly grey start.
Shower outbreaks are expected in England and Wales with much of south and west Scotland being issued with a weather alert.
"Heavy rain" could cause disruption, travel chaos and power cuts for those in areas affected.
The yellow warning for Scotland is in place from 3am until 11.59pm today as "relentless" rain lashes down.
