A total of 35 flood warnings have been issued for England and Wales, following widespread flooding caused by heavy rains in several parts of the nation.

According to reports, there were 27 flood warnings in England and 8 in Wales on Saturday morning as a band of rain moved eastward over the UK. Scotland received six flood advisories from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.

The Met Office issued yellow weather alerts for rain across Wales and south-west England overnight, predicting that “many” locations will have 20 to 30 millimetres of precipitation during six to nine hours, with 50 to 60 millimetres anticipated to fall on higher ground.

Further “unsettled weather” is expected this weekend, which could lead to some heavy clouds and rain being replaced by a mixture of sunshine and showers.

Heavy wind and rain have caused disruption on local roads in Cornwall and Devon, prompting police to urge drivers to be careful, according to Cornwall Live.

A message from police in Callington read: “Good morning! The weather isn’t too great today,”. “Please be careful if travelling. There is a lot of standing water on the main routes in and out of Callington. Please adjust your driving in line with the conditions! Stay safe.”

The Met Office has also said that “some showers [are] likely to be heavy with hail and a chance of thunder”. It could be windy and turn colder later.

By Saturday night, the rains may be “heavy at times,” but the forecasters predict that there may be some clear spells across the east. It will “continue windy with strong gales developing in north-west Scotland,” the Office stated.
