200+ warnings in place
Storm Babet: Flooding still a danger

WeatherRadar showing rain over the UK and Ireland with flood warning sign
Storm Babet has departed but fresh rain, seen Tuesday on the WeatherRadar, and rising river levels prompt new flood warnings.

Flooding could last until midweek, the Environment Agency says, with seven people now confirmed to have passed away due to Storm Babet.

More than 200 flood warnings and alerts remain in place across England on Monday, with bodies of water still at elevated levels and more rainfall expected on Tuesday.

Areas around the River Severn are at an elevated risk of floods according to the Environment Agency, with parts of the East Midlands, and Yorkshire and the Humber also likely to see flooding as river levels continue to rise.

Storm Babet has now dissipated, and weather warnings are not currently in force. More than 1,250 properties have been flooded in England so far, while in Scotland some roads, including the A90, remain shut as engineers work on repairs.

All flood warnings in Scotland have now been lifted, though the effects of the storm will remain for months. Some residents of evacuated Brechin have been told they could be permanently removed from their homes due to the damage.

On Sunday, Derbyshire Police announced that a woman in her 80s had passed away in Chesterfield, bringing the current total to seven. Officers believe the cause of death to be related to the flooding.

In Ireland, flooding has been reported in County Cork as a train of persistent rain falls over the country on Monday. This band of rain pushes east into the UK overnight.

Further temporary flood defences have been deployed across at-risk areas of England in a bid to prevent the worst-case scenario for continued flooding this week.
