|January 06, 2025
The Environment Agency has issued over 250 flood alerts and warnings as heavy snow melts across the UK
The UK is set for more travel chaos this week as heavy snow turns to rain and flooding, the Met Office warned.
The forecaster warned of heavy rainfall across much of central and southern England between Sunday and this morning – with bus and train services set to be affected.
Over 250 flood alerts and warnings have also been issued by the Environment Agency, with flooding expected across much of England overnight.
The warnings came after thousands of Britons were hit by power cuts, flight cancellations and travel chaos after heavy snow swept across the UK over the weekend.
