More than 300 flood alerts and warnings were active across the UK last night as parts of England and Wales braced for further downpours.

The Environment Agency issued 96 flood warnings across England yesterday evening, indicating that flooding was expected. A further 219 flood alerts were issued in areas where flooding was possible.

Four more flood alerts were issued by Natural Resources Wales.

It came after the Met Office issued a fresh yellow warning for rain. The warning lasts until midnight tonight, covering parts of southern Wales as well as southeast and southwest England. The Met Office said “10-15mm of rain is likely fairly widely with 20-30mm in some places exposed to the strong south to southeasterly winds”.
