The Met Office told people in those regions: &quot;Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures. Delays or cancellations to train and bus services are possible. Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Weather maps pinpoint exactly when Arctic freeze will plunge Britain to -4C<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>For the latest weather news, forecasts and maps from the Daily Star, click here.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31461386.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Met-Office-issue-fresh-weather-warnings-as-millions-of-Brits-face-flood-risk-this-weekend.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>&quot;Another area of rain will cross the UK heaviest during early Saturday, before it clears to the east during the morning,&quot; the Met Office said. The flood risk comes following &quot;many weeks of above-average rainfall&quot;. The southern slopes of Dartmoor and the hills of southwest Wales could see up to 50mm of rain. <\/p>\n<p>The warning in Northern Ireland comes into force at 9pm tonight (Friday, November 17) and lasts until 3am on Saturday. The Met Office said for people there: &quot;Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely. Bus services probably affected with journey times taking longer. Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31461389.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Autumn-weather-October-20th-2023.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>People in South Down can expect the heaviest of the rain. Up to 25mm of rain is on the cards for most, and those on higher ground could see up to 50mm. The Met Office said: &quot;Given saturated ground in the area, these sort of totals have the potential to lead to some disruption to transport and utilities.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The Met Office&apos;s general forecast for this weekend states that &quot;sunny spells&quot; should return on Sunday (November 19) following the deluge on Saturday. However, there is a risk of &quot;blustery showers&quot; on Monday (December 20).<\/p>\n<p><b><i>For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking <\/i><\/b><b><i>here<\/i><\/b><b><i>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/news\/latest-news\/met-office-issues-fresh-weather-31461184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Met Office has issued updated weather warnings as millions of Brits could face flooding this weekend.
