Britons are braced for more lashing rain as flood warnings were issued for parts of the country as Storm Clodagh wreaked havoc.
Flights
were diverted, trains delayed and traffic held up on motorways at the

England.
There is little sign of
respite with the Environment Agency issuing yellow flood warnings for

could see 30-40mm of rain during the same period, say the Met Office. A
