A new list of flood warnings has been issued for Lincolnshire as the heavy and persistent rain continues to soak parts of the county. There continues to be disruptions on the roads and to public transport with the Met Office warning there may not be a break in the downpours until at least tomorrow (Wednesday, September 2).
The Met Office says: “An area of rain is expected to develop later this morning across the north of the warning area, before spreading south, whilst turning heavy in places. Much of the warning area will see 15-20 mm of rain, with a few places seeing 30-40 mm. Whilst these totals are not unusual for the time of year, given recent very wet weather some impacts and disruption are more likely than normal.
“Rain will ease across the north of the warning area through early afternoon, before clearing the south of the warning area by Tuesday evening.”
There are nine flood alerts in place. Flood alerts are when flooding is ‘possible.’
Here is a full list of the latest flood alerts in place for Lincolnshire:
- Humber estuary from Spurn Point to Winestead Outfall
- Lower Welland
- North Sea coast at Withernsea, Easington and Kilnsea
- River Devon and Smite in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire
