Flood warnings remain in force across England and Scotland after heavy rain
The Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency are maintaining warnings for vulnerable coastal and riverside communities after Atlantic weather systems brought persistent downpours.
A giant, partly inflated orange lifebelt encircles a brick house threatened by rising floodwater. On the doorstep, a determined resident labours with a tiny bicycle pump. Beside them, a suited official ticks a clipboard marked ‘RESILIENCE’. A flood-warning symbol stands behind them in the rain. The satire contrasts the scale of extreme weather with increasing expectations of household preparedness.
