• One month's rainfall in 24 hours
• Storm prompts 90 flood warnings
Britain is taking another battering from wintry weather today, as a storm brings gale-force winds and torrential rain and snow, causing flooding, power cuts and widespread travel disruption in England and Wales.
Almost a month's rain fell in 24 hours in some parts of southern England, while a band of snow stretching from south Wales to the Midlands left up to 3,000 homes without electricity.
A severe flood warning, which indicates extreme danger to life and property, is in place for the rivers Chelmer and Can at Chelmsford, Essex.
