"More than 200 flood alerts were active across the UK on Sunday as parts of England and Wales braced for more downpours after the Met Office issued a fresh yellow warning for rain. The warning spans noon to midnight on Monday, covering parts of southern Wales as well as south-east and south-west England. The Met Office said that 10-15mm of rain is likely fairly widely with 20-30mm in some places exposed to the strong south to south-easterly winds."
"The Environment Agency issued 96 flood warnings across England on Sunday evening, indicating flooding was expected. A further 219 flood alerts were issued in areas where flooding was possible. Four more flood alerts were issued by Natural Resources Wales. Homes, businesses and roads could be flooded in areas covered by Monday's warning for rain, the Met Office said, adding that travel disruption was expected."
More than 200 flood alerts and numerous flood warnings are in effect across England and Wales ahead of a yellow Met Office rain warning from noon to midnight on Monday for southern Wales and parts of south-east and south-west England. Rainfall of 10–15mm is expected fairly widely, with 20–30mm in some exposed locations due to strong south to south-easterly winds. The Environment Agency has issued 96 flood warnings and 219 flood alerts in England, with four additional alerts in Wales. Saturated ground increases the risk of further flooding, possible inundation of properties and roads, and travel disruption including surface water on Monday evening.
