Storm Dennis to cause more chaos as Britain told to brace for a month’s worth of rain in 24 Hours

Britain faces even more torrential rain across large areas of the country over the next few days along with hail, thunder and snow.

Nearly 300 flood warnings or alerts remain in place today, while up to 4in (100mm) of rain – or a month’s worth – is expected to fall in parts of Wales before the weekend and 65mph gusts are set to sweep into Scotland tomorrow.

Jeremy Corbyn has slammed the Prime Minister for not visiting flood-hit communities, he also said Boris Johnson was showing his ‘true colours’ by not convening the Government’s emergency committee Cobra.

Thousands of properties have been evacuated across England and Wales after the weekend weather chaos led to ‘unprecedented’ flooding, while officials warned the further bad weather has created a ‘heightened flood risk’.

After three days battling against rising water levels, six severe flood alerts – meaning there is a ‘risk to life’ – remained in place last night along the Severn and Wye rivers, which have reached record-levels.
