Deadly Storm Bert in pictures as bad weather will last for days

Storm Bert has brought disruption and at least three deaths to the UK with weather warnings remaining in place through the weekend and the Met Office saying the storm won't leave he country until Tuesday evening. The Met Office said there is potential for fast flowing or deep floodwater to cause danger to life after heavy downpours and howling winds battered much of the country.

A yellow wind warning has come into force for large parts of England, with gusts of up to 65mph expected in some places. Another yellow warning for rain remains in place for much of south-west of England, where the Met Office is warning some communities may be cut off by flooded roads.

Dozens of red flood warnings have been issued, meaning flooding is expected and residents and business owners should “act now”. The worst-hit areas have seen dozens of millimetres of rain overnight, with flood alerts concentrated in Wales, the south-west and north-west of England.

Sunday is set to be a blustery day for all and wind warnings cover large swathes of the country. The Met Office issued a fourth wind warning for the UK on Sunday morning, which covers central and eastern parts of England from 8am until 9pm.

The M48 Severn Bridge in Gloucestershire is closed again on Sunday because of strong winds, and the A66 in North Yorkshire and Cumbria is closed to high-sided and vulnerable vehicles in both directions between the A1M and M6 because of the gusty weather.
