Brits have been warned the UK faces even more heavy rain – even once Storm Christoph has passed.<\/p>\n

The storm has been causing chaos across the UK in recent days with Storm Christoph triggering flooding which has even destroyed homes. <\/p>\n

A number of National Severe Weather Warnings are in place over the weekend for ice and snow across swathes of the country.<\/p>\n

But Met Office forecasters have warned we could be in for more of the same next week after a cold weekend.<\/p>\n

Steve Willington, Chief Forecaster for the Met Office said: "The exit of Storm Christoph – which brought the heavy rain to a central band of the UK – has established a flow of colder air from Iceland and the Arctic. And this is bringing a mix of wintry hazards across the UK.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"In clearer conditions, overnight ice will remain a hazard, while a band of snow is likely to bring falls of 1-3cm quite widely across central areas of the UK, particularly the Cotswolds and higher ground in the East Midlands on Sunday.<\/p>\n

"But snow outside these areas is also a potential hazard."<\/p>\n

Chris Tubbs, Deputy Chief Forecaster for the Met Office, added: "The cold conditions are forecast to remain across the UK until Tuesday, when more Atlantic-dominated weather is due to exert an influence, gradually bringing milder, but wetter conditions to the UK once more, although this may take a while to reach the north-east of the UK.<\/p>\n
