Forecasters are warning that the rain"may become persistent, and possibly heavy, over areas of high ground" in the country.Yellow warnings for rain are in place in Wales from 6pm on Wednesday to 3pm on Thursday. Pic: Met OfficeThe Environment Agency said about 1,000 staff were on duty on Monday night - with 5km of flood barriers deployed and 90 pumps in action.
In Wales, the two"danger to life" flood warnings are in force for the River Wye in Monmouth, where water levels were only expected to peak between 3am and 7am today. Homes there have been evacuated.Major incidents have been declared in South Wales, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire - among the worst affected areas by the weekend's storm.
A statement from the family of Yvonne Booth, 55, from the Great Barr area of Birmingham, said:"Yvonne is a very much-loved member of our family and we are all devastated by this news."The prime minister has been accused of refusing to visit affected communities, with shadow environment secretary Luke Pollard calling Boris Johnson's response to the crisis a"disgrace".
They haven’t risen to exceptional levels, just more sly news sensationalism.
Staffordshire are Tory, screw then.
AlexDaviesJones It's absurd that out of the dozens of variable oscillations and forces that impact weather, the globalist-leftists have brainwashed the public into thinking that CO2 rising from 0.03% to 0.04% of the atmosphere is somehow going to end humanity.
AlexDaviesJones Has fuck all to do with non existent climate change ClimateFraud
AlexDaviesJones now that is a genuine welsh head bobbing out ignorant dribbles of nonsense
AlexDaviesJones Talking bollocks again. Usual Sky
AlexDaviesJones Are all Labour MPs stupid?
AlexDaviesJones Well! It looks like the area has voted in the MP they deserve!!
AlexDaviesJones Has nothing too do with climate change. It’s called weather
AlexDaviesJones Was climate change the issue 45 years ago?
AlexDaviesJones Climate change? 😴 We've had winters with hardly any storms... was that climate change too? It's like a catch all. Just tax the plebs to death & have done with it. 🙄
AlexDaviesJones Ahhh, the UK government caused climate change 😱😱
AlexDaviesJones & what about council's giving the go ahead to build housing on greenbelt, and green spaces. Council's chopping down trees to widen footpaths. Council's not clearing drains and drainage systems. We are fast heading towards concrete jungles that hinders drainage and causes flooding
AlexDaviesJones Sky news will put any old loon on air nowadays
AlexDaviesJones So, nothing to do with the jet stream of course,it's mismanagement by environment agencies and past governments as well as stupid laws passed down by the EU,and the weather doesn't help much either.
AlexDaviesJones Bonkers nonsense from the unelectable Labour party
AlexDaviesJones If she wants to learn about climate change pop over to China or India maybe....then she'll have something to bleat about. It's winter, it rains...been happening for years.
AlexDaviesJones Dredging the rivers and cleaning the drains will help. Simples.
AlexDaviesJones Keep voting fools - they will tax you
AlexDaviesJones That comment is utter stupidity, ignorance and point scoring.
AlexDaviesJones So another dopey woke labour MP wants to blame the government and demand they stop the rain . 🙄🙄
AlexDaviesJones Thick as two short planks
AlexDaviesJones Scientifically illiterate and a disingenuous attempt to extract more rent from the taxpayer. Shameless.
AlexDaviesJones Tories will rip out all Gas central heating boilers and ban petrol and diesel cars. Fixed it for you.
AlexDaviesJones Not the Welsh government then?
AlexDaviesJones Stop digging up trees and greenery and building shabby concrete jungles then!
AlexDaviesJones Silly, anti-science teenage angst
AlexDaviesJones 'Worst flood for 45 years.' What was the even worse flood 45 years ago blamed on?
AlexDaviesJones Odd considering it’s the Labour-run Welsh Assembly that haven’t invested properly in flood defences in Wales...
AlexDaviesJones Time to dredge the rivers then, instead of blaming the Tories and climate change for everything! The uk doesn’t have enough reservoirs otherwise it could take all these floods!
AlexDaviesJones It’s a storm FFS. It’s weather FFS. We have flooding largely because we no longer dredge our rivers due to EU regulations
AlexDaviesJones It rained
AlexDaviesJones Rain? In February? In Wales? I for one am shocked, shocked I tell you ....
AlexDaviesJones Pointless not unless you get Americans Russians and the Chinese to act this is global not just down to one small country
AlexDaviesJones 'I blame the Tories for the weather.' Enjoy being out of Government for at least the next 10 years.
AlexDaviesJones I’d blame the local MP
