The last of many weather warnings issued by the Met Office since before Christmas is set to expire - but flood waters could still rise in some areas.

A rain warning for much of Wales and south-west England ends at 09:00 GMT, and no more warnings have been issued.

However, more than 100 flood warnings are still in place in England, as well as seven in Scotland and one in Wales.

It comes as forecasters predict possible snow in northern and eastern parts of the UK next week.

BBC Weather's Emma Boorman said cooler temperatures would set in from Thursday, becoming colder over the weekend.

"There is a snow risk for the north and east [of the UK], but not immediately," she said.

Meanwhile, the Environment Agency said water was still draining into rivers, meaning some would continue to rise.
