UK Weather: Flood warnings in place and heavier rain en route

Carmarthen, Wales, Monday 9th January 2023 Drone images show farms surrounded by floodwaters near Carmarthen in Wales from the River Towy which broke its banks into farmland and properties after a weekend of heavy rain. More downpours are expected in the area this week as the Met Office issued an amber weather warning for the area on Tuesday.

Britons are being urged to take action at a high risk of flooding over the next 24 hours.

A total of 32 flood warnings and 84 flood warnings are currently in effect across England and Wales this morning.

This means that disruption to roads, homes and businesses can be expected after a weekend of wet and windy weather.

Barriers have been erected along the River Severn in Worcestershire after it burst its banks yesterday while downpours left fields submerged in Wiltshire, Carmarthenshire and Herefordshire.

The Met Office has issued two amber rain warnings for tomorrow covering parts of North West England, the West Midlands and West Wales.

Flooding of homes and businesses is ‘probable’ and transport disrupted.

“This will be most severe and persistent in parts of Wales, particularly at higher elevations.

“Rain amounts of 80-100 mm could accumulate over high altitudes.”

The situation won’t get much better on Wednesday and Thursday as heavy showers and strong winds are also forecast.

It comes as experts warn a “pothole crisis” is gripping the nation as winter frosts ravage roads with cracks and holes.
