According to the British Environment Agency, in addition to the current rainfall, the risk of flooding is increasing due to recent wet weather. Caroline Douglas, head of the agency's flood office, said the ground was “oversaturated.” “The water isn't going anywhere anymore.” According to the Environment Agency, heavy rain and the risk of flooding are expected over the next five days.
