Counties bracing for flurries include Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire , Buckinghamshire and North Yorkshire, as well as Durham.

Northumberland completes the list. Issuing a forecast, Jo Farrow, from Netweather TV, said: “For now, we will stick with the southern rain.

“The Scandinavian high has been stubborn for 2026, remaining in place and halting the progress of a succession of Atlantic low pressures.

“These lows are being energised by a powerful jetstream linked to the deep cold over North America.

“The Atlantic is bringing western Europe destructive windstorms such as Kirstin, which battered Portugal last week, and we’ve seen Chandra, Goretti and Ingrid have impacts on the UK.

“The frontal bands aren’t able to whizz across the UK because of this blocking Scandi-High and so there has been a lot of rain.

“It was the wettest January on record for both Cornwall and County Down, with disruptive flooding for Northern Ireland and SW England.

“The Met Office has just announced that Northern Ireland has (provisionally) had its second wettest January on record.

“With the recent spring tides there has also been coastal damage and overtopping around the UK.”
