A weather warning for yet more rain has been issues for the south-west UK, all but ensuring a biblical start to 2026 with 40 days of rain.
There have been no days so far this year where the country has stayed completely dry, with some areas hit particularly hard.
More than 200 flood alerts are still in place, as well as 88 more serious flood warnings issued by the Environment Agency.
Most of the warnings are concentrated in the Dorset area, which is also covered by the new Met Office weather warning for rain.
The yellow warning says: ‘Heavy rain during Monday afternoon and evening may cause some flooding and disruption to travel.’
