Rain has soaked many parts of the UK over the past few days and more wet and windy weather is forecast.

Storm Henk is expected to bring winds of up to 80 mph and heavy rain across much of southern England and Wales on Tuesday, with the Met Office issuing amber and yellow warnings.

As of Tuesday lunchtime, there were 141 flood warnings in place for England, meaning flooding “is expected”.

For Wales, there were 18 flood warnings, one of which was severe, while Scotland had one flood warning.
