Yellow rain warning
Spells of rain, some heavy, will affect southern parts of England during Wednesday and overnight into Thursday, whilst some snow is also likely over higher ground, chiefly during Wednesday night.
10-20 mm of rain is expected quite widely with a few places near the south coast seeing 20-30 mm and perhaps as much as 50 mm over Dartmoor.
Strong east to northeasterly winds will accompany the rain and/or snow, which could exacerbate impacts in places. Large waves could affect some east-facing coasts, especially along the English Channel.

Yellow wind warning
This warning was originally issued as a dual warning for Rain and Wind. Storm Ingrid, named by the Portuguese national weather service IPMA, will bring spells of heavy rain and strong winds across parts of southwest England and south Wales during Friday before easing on Saturday morning.
An initial band of rain early Friday could bring a further 10-20 mm of rain in places in a few hours, with this falling on already saturated ground. A drier interlude is expected before further bands of locally heavy rain and showers push north into the area through the afternoon, evening and overnight. A further 15-20 mm of rain is expected to fall widely across the region by Saturday morning, with 30-40 mm possible in places. Given the saturated nature of the ground, this is likely to lead to some flooding.
This second period of rain will be accompanied by strong winds and coastal gales, along with some very large waves. Gusts are widely expected to be 45-50 mph inland and up to 60 mph near coasts, with winds peaking during Friday evening before gradually easing overnight and into Saturday morning.

Yellow snow warning
Scattered sleet and snow showers will continue to feed southwards through Monday afternoon and evening, particularly near western coasts but occasionally spreading farther inland. Whilst not all areas will be affected, some small snow accumulations will be possible, with the greatest chance across parts of Pembrokeshire, Camarthenshire and Ceredigion where 5-10 cm could accumulate, especially in the vicinity of the Preseli Mountains. Hail is also possible in some showers, which may may lead to locally slippery conditions.
Showers will ease through Monday night, but ice will be a more widespread hazard overnight and into Tuesday morning as temperatures fall below freezing.

Yellow snow warning
Snow showers are expected to push further inland across Wales, parts of northwest England, the West Midlands and southwest England during Sunday evening. Along windward coasts, rain and sleet is more likely, but inland showers will fall as snow. Whilst not all locations in the warning areas will see snow, around 1-3 cm is expected to fall in many places by Monday morning, with the potential for 5-8 cm to build up in a few locations, particularly across inland and higher parts of Wales. Icy patches are likely to form widely.

Yellow ice warning
Showers of sleet and snow (snow mainly over higher ground), will affect parts of Wales and southwest England during Saturday evening and overnight into Sunday morning. Where showers occur, icy stretches will develop on untreated surfaces.

Yellow rain warning
Outbreaks of rain will become persistent and heavy on Monday night into Tuesday morning, and whilst the rain may be more intermittent during Tuesday daytime some occasional heavy bursts will still be possible. There will naturally be some variation in rainfall totals across the area, but accumulations of 20-40 mm are likely in quite a few places, with 60-80 mm over Dartmoor and high ground in south Wales. There is a small chance of 80-100 mm falling over the most exposed, prone hills. Given the saturated nature of the ground, this is likely to lead to some flooding in places and transport disruption. Rain will also be accompanied by strengthening southerly winds, which may exacerbate impacts.

There is a small chance of gusts in excess of 70 mph over northwest Wales.
