Storm Jorge forecast LIVE: Flood-hit towns braced for strong winds and heavy rain as severe weather set to batter UK

Heavy rain and winds of up to 70mph are set to pummel Britain this weekend, as Storm Jorge hits areas already weakened by weeks of severe weather.

Eighty-nine flood warnings are currently in place across England and Wales, with six yellow weather warnings in force across the UK.

The Met Office's wind alert covers almost the entire country for Saturday, while rain, wind, snow and ice warning are isolated to northern regions.

Police in South Wales temporarily declared a "critical incident" following a night of extreme weather on Friday. More than 600 Welsh homes have been blighted by flooding since since the start of the month.
