Whilst Natural England has put in place no severe flood warnings, 80 flood warnings - indicating that immediate action is required - are in place across the country. This is in addition to 168 flood alerts, showing that flooding is possible.
These alerts span the country, with a high number of alerts having been in place following the wake of Storm Christoph, which Natural England state flooded around 570 properties.
