UK - Britain will be battered with miserable wet weather in the coming days as dozens of flood warnings and alerts remain in effect across the country. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced his intention to offer more support for communities in parts of northern England affected by the severe flooding. Several measures will be enacted to assist the rescue efforts, including 100 Army personnel being deployed to the area. The prime minister said it had been “an absolute tragedy for those who have seen such damage to their homes and livestock”. More than 1,000 households have been evacuated across the north of England as a result of the flooding. Around 500 homes have been flooded in Doncaster alone.
