Flood warnings still in place in England and Wales, as plunging temperatures forecast with possible snow and ice
Emergency services are continuing to deal with severe flooding caused by Storm Claudia.
A major incident was declared in Monmouth, south-east Wales, where people were rescued or evacuated from homes that were flooded during torrential rain on Friday.
On Sunday morning, four severe flood warnings imposed by Natural Resources Wales (NRW), which warned of a danger to life, remained in place while there were 41 flood warnings in England. River levels on the Monnow had reached record levels, exceeding those recorded during Storm Dennis in 2020 and Storm Bert last year, NRW said.
Homes, businesses, transport and energy infrastructure all suffered from the “significant flooding” in parts of Wales, according to the Welsh government.
