Torrential rain and strong winds are set to hammer Britain in the coming days, marking a gloomy 'last weekend of summer'.
Downpours will hit western parts of the UK on Saturday, while up to 30-40mm of 'persistent' rain could be seen in some areas, the Met Office has said.
The west is also at risk of gales and 'flooding of roads and low-lying land is possible', meteorologist Alex Burkill warned.
Other parts of the country are also set to experience 'a pretty blustery day' before the weather begins moving north-eastwards, resulting in eastern areas becoming 'wetter; by Saturday evening.
David Oliver, deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, warned that across coasts, headlands and high ground there could be wind gusts in excess of 50mph on Saturday and Sunday.
