Heavy rain has brought severe flooding to towns and villages in the United Kingdom, as officials have warned the water poses a “danger to life”.
Both Shrewsbury and Ironbridge on the River Severn have been put on high alert as waters rise, with two severe warnings in place.
The river is set to rise by up to seven metres in the coming 24 hours, as locals have been told “immediate action” is needed to safeguard homes and businesses.
Around the rest of the UK, 108 flood warnings remain in place alongside more than 200 flood alerts to advise flooding may take place.
Some 43 flood warnings had been withdrawn by Monday evening.
