Forecasters predict showery rain will today affect Northern Ireland, west Wales, Cornwall and much of the south.

Meanwhile a yellow weather warning is still in place in Scotland until 9am today.

It warns icy patches may cause travel chaos this morning.

Yellow is the least dangerous out of the weather warnings – it means “be aware”.

But this morning the Environment Agency issued 118 flood warnings across the country as roughly 1,250 homes across England have been flooded.

It comes after Storm Babet claimed seven lives as it ripped across Britain over the weekend.

Previous danger to life red warnings issued by the Met Office have now expired with lengthy clean-up operations set to start up and down the country.

In the latest tragedy, a woman, in her 80s, passed away inside after a flat filled with severe flooding yesterday.

Emergency services were called to a flat in Chesterfield after what cops described as “a sudden death” which they believe was weather-related.

It was also revealed a horror car pile-up on the M4 on Friday was weather-related, according to MailOnline.

The smash, which involved a lorry and four cars, killed two women who were travelling together.

Devastatingly in the hours that followed a teenage driver was killed in a crash amid the wet conditions.

An 18-year-old was also left fighting for his life on Friday night after the car he was travelling in smashed into a wall in a West Yorkshire village.

The Sun understands the horrendous weather conditions were a factor in the horror smash.

The collision involved a white Seat Ibiza which ploughed with a wall on Brow Lane at Shelf, near Halifax.

Cops on Friday confirmed two people had fallen victim to Storm Babet.

West Mercia Police said a man in his 60s had died in the storm.

He was found two hours after getting caught in fast-flowing flood water and being dragged under in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire.

Onlookers frantically called cops at around 10.40am on Friday before the tragic discovery was made.

He was the third person to die after John Gillan, 56, was travelling in his vehicle when a tree struck it in Angus, Scotland.

A 57-year-old woman also died on Thursday after being swept into a river in the region.

On Saturday, an elderly man and woman died when their car plunged off a 30ft bridge.

Horror photos show the car upside down while emergency services probed the scene.

Police have not confirmed whether the tragedy was weather related.
