A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: “Small, flashier rivers and streams may respond to heavy rainfall as a result of localised thunderstorms passing through the area.

“Areas most at risk are low lying agricultural land, roads and footpaths close to small rivers and streams. Water levels could rise rapidly and potentially generate deep, fast flows.

“Thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are forecast over the next 24 hours, with low confidence over exact timing and locations.

“We are closely monitoring the situation.

They added: “Please avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.”
