Rain or Shine...

BRITAIN WILL be "reunited" by a wintry sub-zero blast this weekend, just days after a mini-heatwave split the country.

The change, bringing snow and plunging temperatures, comes after the South basked in temperatures higher than in parts of the Mediterranean - a record-breaking 15.7C (60F) in London - while the North-west had to deal with the aftermath of up to four inches of overnight rain, with red flood alerts on two Cumbrian rivers.
