Britain Braced For More Floods
Heavy rain is continuing to sweep across parts of England and Wales, bringing risk of flooding in some parts.
More than 60 flood warnings have been issued by the Environment Agency.
Flood warnings have been put in place along the River Severn between Worcester and Tewkesbury and from Tewkesbury to upstream Gloucester.
The flood warnings have remained in place since Friday, when roads and railways were brought to a standstill by flash flooding.
Highway teams from Gloucestershire County Council have been clearing debris from roads and inspecting the conditions of the region's highways.
Severe gales have been forecast for much of west and southeast England, with flash floods also predicted in some areas of both England and Wales.
The Environment Agency is warning that the next 48 hours will be "crucial" across parts of England and Wales affected by the severe weather.
As much as 40mm of rain is predicted in some areas, with gale-force winds of up to 70mph also expected on the south coast.
Last July, many householders were affected by severe flooding in western England and the Midlands, following the worst flooding in the area since 1947.
The floods affected more than 4,000 and 500 businesses across Gloucestershire.
