Heavy rainfall has led to more than 80 flood warnings being issued across parts of southern and south-west England, as well as the East and West Midlands. The Environment Agency has highlighted the risk of flooding in these areas due to ongoing and forecasted downpours.
Residents in affected regions are advised to stay alert and follow safety guidance as further rain is expected in the coming days, potentially worsening flood conditions.
**Why this matters**
Flood warnings indicate immediate risk to life and property, prompting urgent precautions. Continued rainfall increases the likelihood of river and surface water flooding, which can disrupt transport, damage homes, and impact local communities. Staying informed helps reduce harm and supports timely emergency responses.
