Lovers will face a lashing as rain hits every day this week and a 900 mile-wide Arctic plunge will bring snow for some.

Chills will arrive in the Midlands and North by Valentines Day on Saturday. Before then, more floods are due with another three inches rain in the deluged South-West, where weather warnings were issued for today, with two inches for many other parts this week.

BBC Weather, which forecast rain every day this week in the South, Midlands and North, said: More low pressure systems are due. The South could have heavy and even thundery rain.

A Met Office forecaster said: Widely wet and windy conditions will continue to dominate the UK.

The Environment Agency, which issued 345 flood warnings and alerts, said: Inland flooding is possible on Monday and Tuesday across parts of the South and South-West. Land, roads and properties may flood.

Arctic air will follow from Friday, with BBC Weather forecasting snow, sleet and rain in Birmingham and Sheffield on Saturday, with 4-7C UK highs and freezing nights for most.

Netweather forecaster Nick Finnis said: It looks like turning colder by Valentines with snow, and not only in the North.

A Met Office forecaster said: Colder conditions could become established more widely, bringing the likelihood of snow.
