UK storms: Warnings bring fresh coastal flood fears

Article posted on 06 January 2014

Dozens of flood warnings remain in place across the UK as fresh storms are expected to roll in overnight.

Forecasters warn strong winds and large waves will hit the west of the country on Monday, and the Environment Agency has urged residents in Oxfordshire and Dorset to prepare for more floods.

Storms have caused flooding in Northern Ireland, while roads and trains have been affected in many parts of the UK.

A severe flood warning, meaning "danger to life", is in place in Dorset.

It has been issued for the Lower Stour at Iford Bridge Home Park, Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, a man has died after his mobility scooter fell into a river.

The stormy weather has come in from the Atlantic, so the region has been bearing the brunt. At one point almost the entire peninsular was subject to severe flood warnings, which is pretty unheard of, even for those issuing them.

The Met Office issued a warning of gusts of up to 70mph on Britain's west coast, the south-east of England and the east coast of Northern Ireland on Monday.

If you have been affected by the recent tidal surge, contact National Home Repairs today on 0844 906 0060
