Britain should brace itself for floods as heavy rain is set to fall across most of the country this weekend, the Environment Agency and the Met Office warned today.

February looks further set to end on a wintry note with snow and gale force winds blowing across England and Wales on Sunday.

Forecasters say heavy and persistent rain falling on already sodden ground in England on Sunday, particularly in the south, could lead to river flooding.

Parts of Essex were already submerged under water last night as heavy rainfall caused localised flooding.
