Severe flood warning issued as the UK faces more weather disruptions
Tuesday, 7 January 2025 Serious flooding swamped parts of England and snow forced three airports to close temporarily as wet and icy weather combined to extend travel chaos that has plagued the U.K. since the start of the year. Areas of the Midlands in England remained under water Tuesday and more than 200 flood warnings were issued. Waters that overtopped riverbanks continued to inundate villages and drown farmland. A severe flood warning indicating life-threatening conditions was issued for the River Soar in Leicestershire where several trailer parks sit on low land. A community of mobile homes in the valley were surrounded by muddy waters.
The Environment Agency has a severe flood warning β indicating a βdanger to lifeβ β in place for the River Soar at caravan parks near Barrow upon Soar in Leicestershire.
