THINGS WON'T GET BETTER IN 2016

THINGS WON'T GET BETTER IN 2016

The New Year will not ring in a change as more heavy rain and potential flooding is on its way for parts of northern England and western Scotland.
A new band of stormy weather blowing in from the Atlantic is due to hit some of the worst-affected areas already flooded or at risk because of waterlogged ground from Friday evening.
And the unsettled weather front will continue over the weekend into the start of the next week with the risk of more weather warnings to come.
The Met Office predicts heavy rain for parts of Northern Ireland, North Wales, The Lake District and the North West, North Yorkshire, the North East and Western Scotland over the weekend.
Forecaster Emma Sharples said: ‘It's too early to give exact figures on rainfall over the weekend but more heavy rain is on the way.
‘As we move into the evening and we have more information, it will help us determine where and when to issue warnings.
‘There is an unsettled weather front coming in from the west but it's not looking quite as bad as we've seen in the past few days - it is looking like a normal weather front that is coming through.’
