UK: Worst Floods On Way In New Deluge

Cars stranded in the streets of Toll Bar, Doncaster, yesterday

DOWNPOURS forecast for this weekend could trigger fresh floods, experts warned last night. The Met Office’s severe weather warning for the entire weekend predicts 25mm (one inch) of rainfall “quite widely” across England and Wales. But it adds: “There is a risk that local totals could reach 50mm (two inches).” This could cause mayhem in rain-sodden areas still struggling to recover from Monday’s deluge. (Daily Express)
