The Environment Agency has 30 flood warnings in place across England, meaning flooding is expected, and 78 flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible.
Warnings of heavy rain, flooding and brief tornadoes have been issued for parts of England, with 32 flood warnings in place across England. The Environment Agency also issued 81 flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible.
It comes after the Met Office issued an amber warning earlier on Thursday for areas of the Midlands and south of the country, set to come into force at 6pm on Thursday and last for 12 hours. Yellow rain warnings had already been in place for large parts of England and Wales and western parts of Northern Ireland.
According to the warning, the weather could lead to difficult driving conditions and road closures, homes and businesses are likely to be flooded and there is a “good chance” some communities will be cut off due to floods. Delays and cancellations to train and bus services and power cuts are also likely.
Parts of the country saw more than the monthly average rainfall on Monday, with flash flooding damaging homes and disrupting travel. There were further downpours on Wednesday evening. Around 385 properties were flooded in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Kent and the Home Counties, according to the Environment Agency.
