In the wake of Storm Dennis: The weather warnings in place in your area

Large parts of Britain are set to face days of disruption after Storm Dennis brought heavy rain and strong winds to much of the country.

A record number of flood warnings are in place across England, alongside other alerts and warnings from the Met Office and other multi-national agencies.

In South Wales, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, a major incident has been declared as the rivers dramatically burst their banks leaving homes, businesses and roads submerged in flood waters. Here are the warnings and alerts across the UK:

England

As of 4.30am, the Environment Agency has issued eight severe flood warnings.

The areas affected are Eardiston, Steeping, Wainfleet All Saints, Little Hereford, Ludlow and Tenbury Wells, Croft and Thorpe St Peter.

Severe flood warnings warn people of a danger to life.

There are also 624 other warnings and alerts in place in England that appear to cover the entire country.

Yorkshire, the Midlands, the North East and the South West appear to be bearing the brunt of Storm Dennis and those areas have been told to take immediate action to keep themselves safe in the face of potential imminent flooding.

There has been a major incident declared in Worcestershire and Herefordshire, as they experience rising flood waters.

Save for the east of England and the Midlands, a yellow wind warning covers the country, warning people to take care.

Wales

South Wales Police has declared a major incident as a result of the extensive flooding.

There are no longer any severe flood warnings in place, but there are 63 flood warnings and alerts – meaning flooding is expected or possible.

The rivers affected include the Wye, Severn, Usk, Ithon, Monnow, Vyrnwy, Teifi and Teme.

Many of the warnings are concentrated in the south of Wales, particularly the South East.

Water levels are falling, but the risk remains high to people in some areas.

On Sunday, Gwent Police has advised residents in Skenfrith to evacuate over flooding fears.

An yellow wind warning remains in place for much of western Wales, issued by the Met Office.

Scotland

There are 13 flood warnings in place in Scotland as of 4.30am, none of which are deemed to be severe, according to the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency.

Areas most at risk include Tayside and Aberdeenshire.

A further 16 flood alerts are in place, covering most areas of Scotland.

Earlier, there had been a severe warning in place for the Scottish Borders, but that was lifted on Sunday morning.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the whole of Scotland, warning of high winds.

Forecasters believe that Storm Dennis could continue moving northward into Scotland, so a reprieve in the weather conditions may not yet arrive.

Northern Ireland

A number of flood hazards are in place across Northern Ireland, which is yet to see Storm Dennis make landfall.

Areas around Belfast and Derry appear to be most at risk of flooding from nearby rivers and surface water.

Armagh and Ballymena are also at risk, according to data provided by Northern Ireland’s Department of Infrastructure.

The Met Office’s yellow wind warning covers much of Northern Ireland, including Derry and Belfast.
