Weather live updates: Yellow weather warning for lightning and snow comes into effect - as flood set to peak

That is the end of our live coverage of today's yellow weather warnings and floods.

Thank you for following along.

Tomorrow will be cold with blustery showers for many, the Met Office has said.

It forecast that there will be showers of snow in the north, with a few centimetres in Northern Ireland and Scotland.

It said the snow could bring some disruption.

There was also a risk of lightning.

Heavy rain is moving through southern Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of Northern England.

The Met Office said showers of sleet and snow are following closely behind across Northwest Scotland.

A yellow weather warning for snow and lightning is in force.

Communities are being warned to stay vigilant after "incredibly frightening" flooding.

Search and rescue crews were checking properties in Bewdley, Worcestershire, after temporary flood defences were breached following heavy rainfall yesterday afternoon.

Flooding in the area is expected to peak around 7pm tonight.

Water levels are expected to remain high for a prolonged period and a severe flood warning, meaning there is a danger to life, remains in place.

The rapper Dave has rescheduled his gigs at the O2 arena after high winds during Storm Eunice tore away parts of the roof last Friday.

Dave's shows on Monday and Tuesday this week have been postponed until 28 February and 1 March to allow for the event site to be made ready.

"I'm genuinely so sorry I had to move those dates," the rapper tweeted.

A cold front is set to sweep through the UK tomorrow.

The Met Office said blustery winds will make it feel close to freezing.

Flooding in Bewdley, Worcestershire, is due to peak around 7pm tonight.

A height of 5.37m was forecast by the Environment Agency.

It is currently at 5.30m.

The agency said property flooding is possible at 4.20m and low-lying land is likely to flood at 3.30m.

Shrewbury residents have called for immediate action after they have suffered flooding three years in a row.

The Shropshire town has been among the worst-affected areas of the UK as flooding followed storms Dudley, Eunice and Franklin.

Among those hit was Chris Allen, whose 700-year-old house and its garden beside the River Severn were so badly affected he was trapped inside all day on Tuesday.

"The river was literally flowing all the way around the house," the 53-year-old told the PA news agency.

"It was too dangerous to leave the house - it was probably about seven foot at the back of the house and two or three foot at the front."

The Severn Valley Water Management Scheme, which was set up to try to tackle the issue, is due to produce an overview of possible measures early this year.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and lightning covering much of Scotland and Northern Ireland.

"Frequent heavy snow showers are expected, along with very gusty winds and a chance of frequent lightning affecting some places," the Met Office said.

The warning means people should expect: 

• There is a small chance of longer journey times or cancellations as road, rail, air and ferry services are affected
• There is also a chance some vehicles and passengers could become stranded
• There is a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
• There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off
• A small chance of injuries and danger to life from lightning strikes
• Where lightning strikes occur, there is a small chance that building/structures could be damaged
  

There was also a yellow weather warning for wind covering parts of southeast Scotland and northeast England, which will expire at 6pm today.

The Met Office's yellow weather warning for snow and lightning has come into effect.

The warning, which covers much of Scotland and Northern Ireland, says there is the possibility of 10 to 20cm of snow on higher ground, along with strong blustery winds and a chance showers could be accompanied by frequent lightning.

It will last until 8pm tomorrow.
