Sarah Cook, Flood Duty Manager at the Environment Agency, said: "Heavy rain and melting snow mean significant river flooding is possible in the Midlands, with minor impacts probable more widely across other parts of England, on Monday and into Tuesday.

"Environment Agency teams continue to be out on the ground, operating flood defences, taking action to reduce the impact of flooding, issuing flood warnings and supporting those communities affected."

"It is not possible to say exactly where this snow might fall, so it's important that people are prepared," he said.
