Rain and winds begin hitting UK

Louise Lear explains where the worst weather is likely to hit

Heavy rain and high winds have caused flooding in parts of southern England, with a weekend of storms forecast.

Dozens of roads are reported flooded in Cornwall, the South East has seen some properties flooded and rough weather has delayed some ferries leaving Dover.

High winds are due to pick up across the southern UK on Friday, peaking on Saturday morning at 80mph (129km/h).

The Met Office predicts a "brief respite" at the end of the weekend ahead of more storms next week.

In Haywards Heath, West Sussex, people are waiting to be rescued from four units on an industrial estate after floods from about 2ft (60cm) of water.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service has advised people to go up to the first floor of the premises.

"We have got one of our technical rescue units at the scene and they are going to be moving people out on boats. There are no reports of anyone being hurt," a service spokesman said.

Other developments include:

* In west Cornwall, there are reports of water up to 2ft (61cm) deep making some roads impassable. Water is coming over the sea wall at West Promenade in Penzance, flooding the street, while in Padstow several properties are reported to have been affected by flash floods
* Some SeaFrance crossings from Dover to Calais and LD Lines services to Boulogne suffered delays on Friday. A Port of Dover spokesman warned passengers to expect disruptions
* Kent firefighters reported dealing with eight calls about minor flooding in properties and gardens in the west of the county on Friday morning, while East Sussex crews dealt with six similar calls
* Bennett Memorial Diocesan School in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, was closed because of flooding and sewage contamination
* In Guernsey, an activity centre for dementia sufferers at Castel Hospital was closed after heavy rain caused a ceiling collapse

By 1810 GMT, the Environment Agency had issued 13 flood warnings - 10 in the South, two in the South West and one in Wales - as well as 51 lower "flood watch" alerts across England and Wales.

The agency and Met Office are warning people living along the coast in Hampshire, West Sussex, Dorset and South Wales of a risk of sea flooding this weekend, due to high tides, strong winds and significant wave heights.

Councillor David Sparks, of the Local Government Association, said: "People living by a river, coastal or flood risk area must be prepared.

"There are lots of precautions they can take. People should sign up to the Environment Agency's automated warning system, so they get a call the moment there is a risk their home could flood.

"People should also move all their valuables and irreplaceable items such as passports, certificates and wedding photos upstairs and out of the way."

Damage fears

Forecasts suggest there could be up to 75mm (3in) of rain on hills of Dartmoor, Exmoor and Wales, while much of the UK will see 25mm (1in).

BBC forecaster Tomasz Schafernaker said the weekend would have a "stormy first half" before quietening down.

He said that rain on Friday would create unpleasant driving conditions, with winds picking up across the southern UK on Friday night.

The Highways Agency urged drivers to check travel information before setting out on Friday evening and into the night.

The high winds could cause damage to trees, railway lines and bridges. Air travel could also be disrupted.

London could see gusts of 75mph on Saturday morning.

The Met Office website warns: "At this stage, forecasts suggest that there may be a brief respite at the end of the weekend ahead of more unsettled weather into next week."

Further updates are available on the BBC Weather website.

Storm raasde over zuiden van Groot-Brittannië

Een zware storm raasde over het zuiden van Groot-Brittannië. In Wales en het zuiden van Engeland werden windsnelheden tot 160 kilometer per uur gemeten.
Vooral de zuidkust van Engeland werd getroffen, van de graafschappen Dorset en Hampshire tot Kent, in het zuidoosten.
De hevige wind heeft het zeewater opgezweept. Er werd gewaarschuwd voor overstromingen op 26 plaatsen in Engeland en op 18 in Wales.

De haven van Dover werd een tijdje gesloten. Het ferryverkeer van en naar Frankrijk verliep erg moeilijk.

Op verschillende plaatsen was er schade: afgerukte daken, omgewaaide bomen en schuttingen.
