forecaster Marco Petagno said the grotty weather is down to a stubborn high pressure area to the UK’s north and east which is blocking weather systems coming in from the Atlantic.

He said: “Overall, the UK recorded 17 per cent more rainfall than the average for January.

“There was a clear North-South divide, too, with the North recording ten per cent more rain than average and the South 74 per cent.”

The rain is expected to be replaced by ice and widespread frost in midweek, before yet more rain returns.
