Flood Warnings Issued Across Britain as Heavy Rains Batter Regions

As of November 6th, 2025, the Met Office and Environment Agency have issued flood warnings for nearly 20 areas across Britain. Families living near waterways that are likely to burst their banks in the coming days are advised to gather essential items like torches, batteries, and mobile phone power packs in an "emergency kit." These preparations will help them manage if they are forced to evacuate their homes, a dire situation that is possible as more heavy rain is expected to batter parts of Wales and the Southwest of England today.

Many of the 17 flood warnings concern areas in these regions, with the severest alert for the River Ritec at Tenby, a seaside town in Pembrokeshire. Caravan parks to the west of the town are particularly vulnerable, and authorities report that "significant disruption to the community is ongoing" with "severe flooding" and "flooding to property" still ongoing. Water levels may remain high for several days due to restrictions on the tidal outflow.

In addition to the warnings in Wales, there are seven flood warnings in place for parts of England and one for Scotland around Glen Lyon in Perth and Kinross. Authorities stress that the situation is particularly concerning at the moment, and people are urged to avoid beaches and coastal promenades, as they may already be flooded.
