An Atlantic storm hit the UK on Thursday and Friday bringing heavy rain and blustery winds with it. The Met Office says that the unsettled weather is set to continue into Saturday. The weather is also noticeably colder than it would normally be for this time of year.
The Highways Agency advised motorists to exercise caution if they were travelling and told drivers to plan ahead if they were going to travel in the heavy rain and high winds.
A team from the Environment Agency have been checking on flood defences and river levels. The Environment Agency has also been working to avoid any river blockages. People are advised to keep up-to-date by following the Agency's Twitter feed for the latest information.
Not even the Olympic Torch is guaranteed good weather. Forecasters say that as the relay goes through Gateshead to Durham, there is the potential for wet weather on Saturday.
Commenting in a press release, Frank Saunders, Chief Forecaster at the Met Office, said:
"The unsettled theme we have seen so far this month is set to continue with more wet and windy weather to come, especially through tonight and tomorrow, although we are not expecting it to be as severe as the weather last weekend."
