The impacts could include localised flooding in urban areas and fast responding catchments, including some property flooding as well as travel disruption. The risk from river flooding remains low.

Environment Agency teams are out on the ground, and ready to support local authorities in responding to surface water flooding.

Currently 12 flood warnings remain in place where flooding is expected in England - 32 flood warnings have been removed in the last 24 hours. A further 78 flood alerts are in place where flooding is possible.
