The Environment Agency has issued more than 105 flood warnings and 181 flood alerts across England as of midday, with saturated ground and already-swollen rivers making flooding more likely. Heavy rain in south-west England and south Wales has also prompted a Met Office yellow warning, which will remain in place until the end of the day. The Met Office added: "10-15mm (0.6in) of rain is likely fairly widely with 20-30mm in some places exposed to the strong south to south-easterly winds."

Further Met Office rain warnings have also been issued for Tuesday and Wednesday in parts of eastern Scotland. Most of them are located in the south-west and the Midlands. There are currently two flood warnings and four alerts in Scotland and five flood alerts in Wales. A flood warning means flooding is expected, and an alert means flooding is possible. "There will be some heavy rain and the rain is falling on saturated ground so further flooding is possible, particularly as we move into the evening," Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said on Monday. He added there was potential for "surface water on the roads" on Monday, which could cause disruption to travel.

The Met Office previously confirmed that rain fell every day of 2026 in south-west England and south Wales, with both areas seeing 50% more rainfall than usual. The Environment Agency estimated at least 300 properties had been reported as flooded on Sunday, with about 16,200 more now having been protected. "We urge people not to drive through flood-water - it is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm of flowing water is enough to float your car," Sarah Cook, the agency's flood duty manager cautioned.
