It'll only get wetter

Britain baced for more flooding just before next big freeze hits

RELENTLESS rain left Britain looking like a wet weekend yesterday as experts warned flooding could get even worse before the country is covered in snow.

Much of England is already underwater, as our aerial shot of saturated Tewkesbury, Glos, shows.

But the River Severn was set to reach its highest levels last night in Bewdley, Worcs, where a children's park had all but disappeared under the deluge.

The river expected to hit another peak in the city of Worcester today also burst its banks in Apperley, Glos, where cyclists had to avoid a soaking as motorists negotiated flooded roads.
