Met Office warns of wet weather for Brits this afternoon and issues yellow ... trends now
The Met Office has warned of wet weather for Britons this afternoon, as it issues a yellow weather warning and predicts gusts of up to 75mp for Scotland tomorrow.
The weather service has said that the jet stream will 'remain close' to most areas across the UK, particularly affecting the south of England, as Brits have been urged to carry umbrellas with them this afternoon.
Following this, the Met Office added that toward the rest of the working week, the current jet stream will swoop over the south, 'helping to maintain the unsettled spell of weather.
'Winds will be mainly coming in from the southwest though so it will be staying mild.'
And today, the weather forecaster also issued a Yellow weather warning for the north of Scotland, which will come into affect early Wednesday.

A jet stream is a core of strong winds around five to seven miles above the Earth’s surface, blowing from west to east, and lowering the pressure system.
The lower the pressure within a system, generally the stronger the wind, and more stormy the result.
And for Brits heading out this afternoon, they 'may need to have an umbrella hand' as the Met Office have said that there will be 'a mixture of sunshine and showers for many of us.
'It will turn drier though for Shetland, but Northern Ireland will see a band of rain move in from the west.'
However, for the most part of the afternoon today temperatures will hit highs of 16C in London, 13C in Cornwall, 13C in Manchester and 12C in Glasgow.
And with the jet stream taking a hold across many areas, Scotland is bracing itself for another round of turbulent weather as a Yellow weather warning has been issued.
Today, the weather service announced that the warning has been issued for most parts of Scotland, which will come into affect tomorrow.
It added that there will be strong winds across most parts tomorrow, starting from 4am and lasting until just after lunchtime - 1pm - Wednesday.
