Downpours & thunderstorms
Flood alerts as severe weather continues

Heavy rain and thunderstorms on the WeatherRadar Thursday afternoon.

Flood warnings stretch across the UK as heavy rain continues to fall, building on significant rainfall earlier in the week.

A total of 99 warnings and alerts are currently live, running from Bournemouth to Newcastle. Much of the day's rain is concentrated in the north of England while heavy downpours could develop further south.

Flood warnings

Flood warnings and alerts are updated throughout the day. The number in effect may have risen or fallen since this time. 

Those heavy spells around London and in East Anglia have potential to turn thundery by this afternoon and builds on flooding earlier in the week.

Some areas saw 24 hours of rainfall surpassing the monthly average amounts, causing disruption to train lines, road travel, and the development of surface flooding amid rivers breaching their banks.

Heavy and persistent rain also remains in place over Ireland throughout Thursday before easing into Friday morning, where the downpours continue across east to south-east England.

Saturated soils after recent rainfall makes flooding more likely. Keep an eye on developments around you with the WeatherRadar.
