The Environment Agency is warning that ongoing flooding impacts are likely to continue
The Environment Agency urges the public to be aware of the risk of flooding as Storm Claudia brings further heavy rain across the country.
Rainfall has already caused flooding in the north of England, with at least 17 properties flooded. Significant surface water and river flooding is expected across larger parts of England, particularly central areas, from Friday and throughout the weekend.
As of 11.45am on Friday 14 November, there are 97 flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible, and two flood warnings, meaning flooding is expected, in place.
Joe Cuthbertson, Flood Duty Manager at the Environment Agency, said:
Significant surface water and river flooding impacts are probable for parts of England on Friday, with significant river flooding likely continuing into Saturday. Ongoing impacts from rivers are possible across the weekend.
Environment Agency teams are out on the ground, operating flood defences and supporting local authorities in responding to surface water flooding. We urge people not to drive though flood water - it is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm of flowing water is enough to float your car.
People should search ' check my flood risk ', get free flood warnings, and keep up to date with the latest situation at
