It has been a wet few days



Parts of Nuneaton and surrounding areas are underwater this morning after a day of heavy and persistent rain in the region led to local rivers breaking their banks.

Multiple flood warnings and alerts have been issued across Coventry and Warwickshire, with the North Warwickshire town the worst hit - three separate government issued flood warnings for the town.

The Environment Agency says we should expect this to have an impact, with the Met Office predicting more wet and windy weather. See below for more information.
