    A 1,000km-long column of rain is coming to drench the UK this weekend, all thanks to Hurricane Nigel.<\/p>\n

    Already this week Brits have seen Met Office weather warnings, flood alerts, strong winds and torrential downpours as the tail end of Hurricane Lee landed on our shores.<\/p>\n

    Up to 40mm of rain came down in some places over two hours on Wednesday (September 20) and flood alerts remain in place today (Thursday, September 21). <\/p>\n

    The Met Office has said for this evening and tonight: "Showers easing across inland areas during this evening but rain and showers persisting across northern and western parts plus south-east England. Isolated mist and fog possible under clearer skies across central and eastern England. Windy in the far north."<\/p>\n

    Sunday (September 24) is when we are expected to get the remnants of Hurricane Nigel. Advanced weather maps from WX Charts show a column of rain spanning the entire length of the UK moving eastward on Sunday evening. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The darker red spots on the maps indicate rain falling at a rate of at least 10mm per hour. The rain is expected to last almost all day with Northern Ireland, Wales and the north-west of England getting the worst of it. <\/p>\n

    The Met Office forecast reads: "A chilly start Saturday, then mostly fine. Further wet and windy weather Saturday night into Sunday, especially in the north and west. Unsettled on Monday, with gales in the north-west."<\/p>\n

    Jim Dale, Senior Meteorological Consultant at British Weather Services, previously told the Daily Star that storms over the Atlantic would bring heavy rain to the UK following the recent heatwave. He explained: "Do expect to see bouts of heavy rain and showers that could cause localised flooding. The Atlantic is going to roar back in. It is still a relatively warm Atlantic, full of cyclones."<\/p>\n
