Met Office warns of more flooding as one month's rainfall to batter parts of UK in few hours - see full list Dozens of flood alerts are in place across the country as the Met Office places major regions of England and Wales under yellow thunderstorm alerts today and into tomorrow The Met Office has warned of more flooding as a month's worth of rainfall is set to batter parts of the UK within a few hours - see the full list below. Dozens of regions of the UK face flood alerts and one area has a warning where flooding is expected. Yellow thunderstorm warnings are in place for Wales, the North West, southern Cumbria, much of the Yorkshires and London until 10pm tonight. East Anglia, Lincolnshire, Essex and Kent will fall under a similar warning from 5pm today until 7am tomorrow morning. Forecasters warned flooding can occur quickly and that some homes and businesses might be at risk. Parts of Birmingham have already endured flooding today with homes and businesses damaged after heavy rainfall overnight. Firefighters have been scrambled to roads near Perry Park in Birmingham at around 11:20pm last night. Six crews, supported by West Midlands Police and Birmingham City Council, were dealing with "significant flooding" affecting Curbar Road, Thornbridge Avenue and Haddon Road. The fire service issued a further warning today, urging Brits to keep out of floodwater as it "moves much faster than you think" and is strong enough to shift cars several metres downstream. Perry Barr fire commander Adam Dean said: "Water moves much faster than you think. Even if you think you think it's safe - perhaps it’s a local ford you’ve driven through many times before - don't risk it. "If you do get stranded, don't try to get out of your vehicle in fast-flowing water. Call 999 and ask for the fire service." The majority of the flood alerts today are located around Birmingham, the Midlands, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and in and around Greater London. The Met Office warned: "Some places may receive 30-50 mm of rain, much of this falling in less than three hours, with a lower chance of 50-75 mm in a few spots." Birmingham is at risk of seeing an excess of its typical 68mm of rainfall in August as is Nottingham with its August average of 66mm. Liverpool sees an average of 72mm this month but also remains at risk of exceeding that within a few hours. Hull typically sees an average of 65mm and Sheffield could exceed its 65mm average within just a few hours.
