      More areas across England are expected to suffer “severe” floods with storms bringing as much as 40mm of rain.

      There were 81 alerts warning of possible flooding on Wednesday morning with flooding expected, in place for 20 locations, including eight in the Greater Manchester area.

      The Met Office warns of a band of heavy rain moving slowly south through Wednesday with areas seeing 40mm or more, leading to dangerous driving conditions.

      A yellow rain warning is in place until 3pm on Wednesday in the north east and Yorkshire with power outages expected in some areas.

      Maybe a silly question but I’m from NI and we very rarely see flooding at this level, but seems more common in England, is there a reason why or am I overestimating how much flooding England experiences?

      Local village was flooded yesterday not because of rain, but because all the drains were blocked. Lack of council budgets biting innit.

      It’s great that this country is fully resilient to the impacts of 1.3 degrees of climate change. 

      It gives me great confidence in our ability to withstand 2 degrees + of warming.

      I’m lucky as never seem to have any particularly bad weather around my way. I’ve seen snow like 3 or 4 times in my life and there’s never any flooding, haven’t had any power cuts in many many years. Only had abit of rain the last few days and at most heavy drizzle

      Don’t envy those that live somewhere that does suffer from flooding. Must suck

      Pathetic.

      Not enough maintenance to ensure current drainage is sufficient.
      Further fossil fuels being used despite environmental impacts.
      The same people who greenlight this are the same people to deny climate driven immigration.
      This will only get worse over the next couple of decades.

      Governmental incompetance.

      Our car habits are the big problem. That paired with a complete lack of affordable public transport.

      More cars on roads, more requirement for driveways, less residential places for water to naturally drain and an increase in water pumping into drains and sewers.
