Flood warnings, which mean flooding is expected and imminent action is required, are in place for:

  • River Lugg at Hampton Bishop
  • River Teme at Leintwardine and Walford
  • River Wye at Hampton Bishop
  • River Wye from Hereford to Ross-On-Wye

There is little respite from the poor weather. Today will begin wet and windy, but it will clear later, according to the Met Office.

The remainder of the week in Herefordshire will entail a mixture of sunshine and showers. Wintry showers also possible, especially across the hills.

Elsewhere in Britain, snow is set to cause problems in northern England and Scotland, where a yellow warning has been issued. This means travel delays on roads could strand some vehicles, there may be delays or cancellations to rail and air travel, and power cuts.

An Environment Agency (EA) spokesman said ongoing flooding is possible along parts of the river Wye.

He said: "This rain is falling on saturated catchments where river levels are already high."

England has already received over 141 per cent of its average February rainfall so far, but the spokesman said it was too early to comment on reports that it is looking like being the wettest February for 30 years.

A new severe flood warning – meaning an imminent danger to life – has been issued for the river Severn in Shrewsbury.

Dave Throup, EA manager for Herefordshire and Worcestershire, said flood warnings for Worcester had been been updated to to reflect the possibility of exceptionally high levels by midweek.

Some temporary changes to school transport arrangements are in place due to flooding. Check here for details.
