Storm Eva and flooding in the UK: how have you been affected?

Parts of Cumbria prepared for their third flood clean-up this month, ahead of the news that more heavy rain will fall across the county over the festive period

Streets in parts of Cumbria ran with fast-flowing water after more rain fell across the county on Tuesday night. Firefighters attended eight incidents, rescuing several residents including a woman in her 70s.

The Environment Agency has issued flood warnings across parts of north-west and north-east England and Wales, and is warning of potential travel disruption over the Christmas period. In Cumbria, which has been worst hit this winter, flood warnings have been issued for Appleby, Carlisle, Kendal and Keswick.
