Three people have died since Storm Babet hit the UK while a search continues after a report of a man trapped in a vehicle in floodwater
The UK will continue to face travel disruption due to flooding from major rivers following Storm Babet. Flooding has caused problems across Britain’s rail network, with disruption to continue in parts of Yorkshire, Scotland, East Anglia and the East Midlands on Sunday.
Derby City Council said they are seeing record-breaking water levels in the River Derwent and warned that cleaning up after the floods could take several days. As of 5am, 230 flood warnings – where less dangerous flooding is expected – remain in place across England. “Environment Agency teams are out on the ground and have operated flood barriers and storage areas. Temporary defences, including pumps and barriers, have been deployed to minimise the impact of flooding where needed. Flood gates have also been closed in affected areas.
Scotland has been badly affected and a red weather warning – which warns of danger to life – was issued for the second consecutive day for parts of Angus and Aberdeenshire. The Met Office downgraded the warning on Saturday afternoon after rainfall across eastern Scotland eased.
