Urgent flood warnings issued across UK with Greater Manchester set for torrential rain
11.03.2024 - 10:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Dozens of flood warnings and alerts have been issued across the UK as more heavy rain is forecast - with Greater Manchester braced for downpours.
Heavy showers lashed the UK on Sunday, the heaviest of which were in the Midlands - where more than 21mm of rain fell in Warwickshire in just a few hours, the Mirror reports. More downpours are forecast this week, with 133 flood alerts and 34 flood warnings issued by the Environment Agency.
Most of the alerts are for the south of England, but the Met Office predicts much of the UK will see more rain. "Heavy rain will (tonight) move into western areas later in the night with brisk winds", a forecast on the Met Office website said.

"Staying frost free under the blanket of cloud. Outbreaks of rain will spread across the UK tomorrow, turning heavy at times."
The flood warnings - where 'flooding is expected and residents should act now' - are in areas around the River Severn near Gloucester, properties along the Somerset coast in and around Portishead, and several warnings for groundwater flooding across the West Wiltshire Downs near Warminster. Natural Resources Wales says the Wye Estuary is likely to flooding at two points - in Chepstow and in Tintern.
There are five warnings and five alerts across Scotland, and these include concern coastal areas in the Highlands from Helmsdale to Embo may experience flooding from the sea.
In Greater Manchester, forecasters predict today (Monday) will be mostly cloudy and overcast before heavy downpours hit our region tomorrow. Rain is forecast for much of the day tomorrow and overnight into Wednesday, with more wet weather then predicted up to the weekend.
