The UK will remain pounded by heavy rains this week as twin storms Elin and Fergus combine forces, prompting four yellow weather warnings for rain in place for Monday. The Met Office warned of downpours across Scotland, northwest England and West Yorkshire. It said though a brief respite may come on Monday, "further unsettled weather likely Tuesday" when another low-pressure moves in, potentially bringing heavy rainfall and strong coastal winds. Elin caused rail disruptions Saturday while motorists were left stranded in surface flood water in various places. "Although there will be a brief drier interlude for many on Monday, further unsettled weather is likely on Tuesday," the Met said. Sunday brought Storm Fergus with two rain bands over most of Britain, worst hitting Northern Ireland and Scotland.
