Storm Bert chaos sees UK hit by a number of main flood warnings – see full record

The UK has been hit by several major flood warnings, spreading the entire country. With Storm Bert in full effect, flooding has been taking place in pretty much every town and city in some form.

And now the government has updated its flood warning list with 37 official warnings, as well as 150 flood alerts. Warnings mean that flooding is expected, while alerts mean that flooding is “possible”. The storm – which has already taken one life – is expected to last another 24 hours, bringing deluges of rain country-wide.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Holley said: “Storm Bert marks a shift to much milder air and wintry hazards will gradually diminish through the weekend, but heavy snowfall is expected across parts of northern England and Scotland for a time on Saturday, especially over higher ground, and warnings are in place.”

“Heavy rain through Saturday and Sunday, especially in southern and western parts of the UK, will also bring impacts for some with a number of warnings in place. We expect 50-75 mm of rainfall quite widely within the warning areas, but in excess of 100 mm is possible over high ground in parts of Wales and southwest England.”

“In addition, rapid melting of lying snow over the weekend and periods of strong winds are likely to exacerbate impacts and bring the potential for travel disruption, as well as flooding for some.”
