Weather warning: More flooding possible as two fresh warnings for heavy rain come into force

Heavy rain is set to continue as two fresh weather warnings come into force on Monday, potentially bringing more flooding and travel disruption. Yellow rain warnings have been issued by the Met Office – meaning there is a chance of flooding and travel disruption – one covering eastern England between 8am on Monday and 3am on Tuesday, and the other across North Wales and north-west England between 00.30am and 8pm on Monday. Both new warnings forecast 20-40mm of rainfall widely, with 60mm also possible in a few places across North Wales and north-west England and 60-80mm in some areas in eastern England, the Met Office said. Met Office meteorologist Liam Eslick said they are expecting some “pretty heavy persistent rain” across North Wales and north-west England and North Wales will get the brunt of the rain. The higher grounds in eastern England will see the most rainfall, with areas including Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire seeing less but already being saturated by recent heavy rain, he added. It comes after a wet and windy Sunday with more than an inch of rain falling – 26.1mm – in Bastreet, Cornwall, and winds of 69mph recorded in Berry Head, South Devon, the Met Office said. Two yellow warnings, for wind and rain, came into force on Sunday and hit areas already saturated by downpours earlier in the week.
