Flooding is 'probable on some larger rivers including the Severn, Ouse and Trent', the agency says.
Flooding from major rivers could continue until Tuesday following Storm Babet, the Environment Agency has warned. Despite the worst of the storm now having passed, rivers in North Yorkshire, the Midlands and the South West could continue to overflow, the agency said. 'Ongoing flooding is probable on some larger rivers including the Severn, Ouse and Trent through to Tuesday,' said EA flood duty manager Katharine Smith.
The last remaining Met Office weather warning, for rain, expired at midnight. In the North Sea, off the coast of Aberdeen, a company operating a drilling platform said it had removed non-essential personnel after four of the platform's eight anchors became detached in severe weather caused by Storm Babet.
