UK flood updates — Met Office issues yellow weather warning as Brits warned to ‘get to high ground’ amid heavy rain

BRITS in West Sussex were issued an urgent flood warning this morning amid heavy rain across the south of England.

Fire crews rushed to curb “severe flooding” at Medmerry holiday park in West Sussex in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue said: “Anyone within the vicinity should get to high ground if possible, unless unable to leave their residence.”

This comes as the Met Office issues three yellow weather warnings for strong winds across the south and west coasts of England.

Strong winds of up to 65mph will likely bring “hazardous coastal conditions” before they push inland.
