Sheep were spotted stranded on elevated ground after a river dramatically overflowed its banks, prompting the British to prepare for more inclement weather. Nearly 60 flood alerts have been issued in England, along with a yellow weather warning for the southeast, as a result of which Britons must brace for more inclement weather.
Astonishing photographs revealed approximately 30 sheep abandoned on one of the few elevated areas that looked to have survived severe flooding.
The photographs were taken at Stratton, Dorset, near Dorchester, after the River Frome overflowed its banks due to yesterday’s tremendous rainfall.
In addition, images were captured of motorists navigating the M25 near Swanley, Kent, amidst severe rain.
In addition, there is no indication that the severe weather will cease. The Met Office has issued 56 flood alerts and four flood warnings in anticipation of floods.
The Met Office has issued warnings for Climping, West Sussex, Upper Frome, and Maiden Newton, Dorset, which may spread to Dorchester.
The Met Office’s final warning for North Bank Road, which runs along the River Nene to the east of Peterborough.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for southeast England, indicating that Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, and West Sussex are expected to see heavy rainfall.
The severe weather warnings went into effect at midday today and will continue in effect until the end of the day, preventing Britons from enjoying their Sunday afternoon.
They anticipate 10 to 20 mm of precipitation, with some locations reaching 30 mm by evening. Recent rainfall has saturated the ground in several regions, creating a high risk of flooding.
Forecasters warn that buses and trains will likely see delays and lengthier travel times, and that flooding of homes and businesses is possible.
Yesterday’s rail strikes have already necessitated limited public transportation for British citizens. In a protracted pay dispute, eleven firms’ train drivers walked off the job, causing more disruptions to the public’s ability to travel around the country.
As the southeast deals with torrential rain today, blustery showers are anticipated across Northern Ireland and a large portion of Scotland, extending to the west later.
On what has become a dismal last Sunday of November, several regions of the United Kingdom are also expected to see high winds.
Tomorrow, Britons will once again have to contend with rain, particularly in the south and west of the United Kingdom. In the meanwhile, conditions are forecast to improve on Tuesday, with drier weather and less severe gusts, but fog and mist will cause issues.
