More flooding is expected in the aftermath of Storm Babet in the coming days.

The Met Office issued an ice alert in Scotland up until 9am this morning and 114 flood warnings are currently in place across the UK.

Around 1,250 homes in England were flooded and more than 30,000 were protected, according to the Environment Agency.

The agency said in a statement: ‘River flooding will continue into Wednesday along the River Severn.

‘Further flooding is possible from rivers and surface water on Tuesday and Wednesday for parts of England due to further heavy rain.’

The Met Office said the weather today will be more settled and the country will see ‘a couple of quieter days’.

Spokesperson Dave Britton said: ‘There is this pulse of rain moving its way north overnight later on Monday and into Tuesday, but the rest of the week does look like it remains rather unsettled with spells of rain at times.’

The country was battered by Storm Babet – the second named storm of the season – for several days last week.

Heavy rainfall and gale-force winds, particularly in Scotland after a rare red ‘danger to life’ warning was issued, meant thousands had to be evacuated from their homes.

Flights were disrupted and railways were left damaged in the chaos.

Scotland’s first minister Humza Yousaf is set to visit Brechin, Angus, on Monday to see the damage after dozens of homes were flooded last week.

Rescue crews risked their lives to save residents who were left trapped inside their homes following the torrential rain.

At least seven people are thought to have died in weather-related incidents over the last few days.

A grandma was swept away by a Scottish river last week shortly before the red weather warning came into effect.

In a statement the family of Wendy Taylor, 57, said they are ‘absolutely heartbroken’ by the loss and are ‘still struggling to come to terms with it’.

It read: ‘Wendy was a beautiful, kind, funny and caring person. She was a ray of sunshine for everyone who was fortunate enough to know her.

‘Wendy was the beloved wife, best friend and soulmate in life to George, mother to James, Sally and Susanna and Granny to India and George.’

‘Our family would like to thank Police Scotland for their professionalism and sensitivity in recent days. And in particular Paul Morgan of Police Mountain Rescue for recovering Wendy.

‘Thank you to all of our extended family and friends for supporting us through this indescribably difficult time.’

Teams across Angus and Aberdeenshire in Scotland have been clearing debris from roads, and repairs are being carried out in the places affected by flooding.

Record-breaking water levels were measured in the River Derwent, Derbyshire, last week and it was warned cleaning up after the floods could take several days.
