It has been another very wet day across parts of the UK, resulting in widespread flooding across parts of the south west of England. Severe Flood Warnings were issued by the Environment Agency for several rivers through the day. This followed the Met Office issuing a Red Severe Weather Warning on Friday evening  for heavy rain in parts of south west England.

The heavy rain that had affected parts of the north Midland and northern England on Friday pushed further north bringing heavy rain to parts of the far north of England and southern and central Scotland.

The table below shows the amount of rain that fell between 7.00 pm on Friday and 4.00 pm on Saturday.

The forecast for the rest of tonight is for outbreaks of rain to continue in both far northern and southeastern parts of the UK. Showers in many other areas should die away, with western parts in particular becoming largely dry. Some eastern and central parts may continue to see isolated heavy showers.
