UK prepares for further flooding as downpours continue
Much of the UK is braced for further flooding caused by heavy rain, which is forecast to continue into Sunday.
The Environment Agency has six severe flood warnings in place for south west England and nearly 200 flood warnings for England and Wales.
In north Devon, police have warned that all minor roads north of Barnstaple may be flooded.
Paul Mustow, head of flood incident management, said: “With severe flood warnings in force and further rain forecast, it is vital that communities remain flood aware.
“If you’re leaving your property empty over Christmas, check the risk of flooding before you leave, move valuable items to safety and ask neighbours to keep an eye on your home.”
The Met Office has issued amber rain warnings for much of Scotland, parts of Yorkshire, Wales and southern England.
On Saturday, rail company First Great Western advised “customers with non-essential travel to not attempt to travel West of Taunton in either direction”.
