Parts of the UK are again facing flooding as forecasters warn a further band of stormy weather later could mean the “strongest” winds of the winter. More than 1,000 properties have flooded over the past week while homeowners have been warned many more are at risk.
Fourteen severe flood warnings are in place in Berkshire and Surrey while two remain in Somerset.
BBC weather forecaster Laura Gilchrist said winds could exceed 100mph around the coast of west Wales.
Gales could be the most “strongest and disruptive” of the winter so far, she added.
The Met Office has issued an amber “be prepared” warning of wind on Wednesday as well as yellow “be aware” snow, wind and rain warnings.
The warning for snow covers northern and western parts of the UK – but not the South West – mostly until mid-morning Wednesday.
