Britain - No respite from floods as wind and heavy rain are forecast for the weekend!


Windswept: Strong winds whip up huge waves battering the coast at Seaburn near Sunderland, on Thursday as Britain experienced a 'short, sharp shock' of colder temperatures

More waves of bad weather to sweep in from the west throughout the weekend, with Spring tides set to remain high and winds continuing to gust at more than 50mph.


Homes have been evacuated in coastal areas as Britain braces for dangerous flooding as severe winds sweep in from the Atlantic. The Environment Agency has issued 21 of its most serious flood warnings advising of flooding and a risk to life across Wales and England.

Close call: The two men try and run from the pier in Hartlepool after it is battered by the waves on Thursday

Soaking: But they still get drenched after the waves crash over the sides of the pier

Hard to see: Vehicles negotiate their way along the M25 in Brentwood Essex in perilously poor visibility

Forecasters warned there would be no respite from the bad weather and floods this weekend as high tides, strong winds and heavy rain continue.
Streets and homes have been flooded in coastal areas as high spring tides and gale force winds swept in from the Atlantic and heavy rain fell on already sodden part of the country.
