More Downpours Forecast As UK Faces Flooding Crisis After Storms

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for parts of southern Britain, forecasting further heavy rain on already saturated ground. With more disruption expected, emergency services remain on high alert after Storm Henk brought strong winds, intense rainfall and flooding.

The Met Office has placed a yellow severe weather warning covering a broad area from Cornwall to East Anglia, including London.

Their forecast suggests there is a risk of another 50mm of rain in places, which could lead to more flooding, travel delays and potential power cuts. The warning comes after Storm Henk brought winds exceeding 90mph in some regions alongside heavy downpours.

The UK Health Security Agency has also released a cold weather alert for the entirety of England from this Saturday onwards.

It comes as hundreds have already needed evacuating or rescuing from the effects of Storm Henk across Britain. The Red Cross say their emergency response teams are ready to assist if required.
