Map shows hundreds of Storm Henk flood warnings across the UK

Hundreds of flood warnings were in place on Friday morning, as the impact of heavy rain continued to be felt, with commuters facing ongoing travel chaos and homeowners dealing with the aftermath of flooding.

Homes across the Midlands were inundated on Thursday while parts of southern England including Gloucestershire were also submerged.

On Friday morning, a total of 302 flood warnings were in place in England, as well as 13 in Wales, with forecasters predicting showers could continue. The Environment Agency said ongoing impacts are likely across much of England over the next five days due to localised rain falling on saturated ground.

It comes after disruption caused by strong winds and rain from Storm Henk earlier in the week, leaving saturated ground saturated prone to flooding in many areas. The highest rainfall totals recorded on Thursday were 35.2mm at Otterbourne in Hampshire, with a range of 20-30mm across much of the southern counties of England.

Train companies warned that several lines remained affected by flooding, including Great Western Railway's (GWR) lines between Swindon and Bristol Parkway, Reading and Castle Cary, and Liskeard and Looe in Cornwall, while Thameslink services were affected by a landslip at Arlesey in Bedfordshire.

The Environment Agency said ongoing impacts are likely across much of England over the next five days. Stefan Laeger, from the Environment Agency, said: "Significant surface water and river flooding impacts are possible across parts of the Midlands and the south and east of England on Thursday and Friday due to heavy localised rainfall falling on already very saturated catchments. Ongoing minor impacts are also likely across much of England over the next five days as some larger rivers slowly respond to recent and forecast rain."
