Ex-hurricane Bertha brings high winds and rain across UK

LONDON: -- Storms and heavy rain have caused disruption across Britain as the remnants of what was Hurricane Bertha sweep across the country.


The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for rain for most of the UK, plus two amber warnings in Scotland, and is urging people to be aware of flooding, strong winds and large waves.

Holidaymakers were urged to check flood warnings before driving.

Winds gusting at 53mph were recorded in Devon.

Transport trouble
The Environment Agency has six flood warnings in place - meaning floods are "expected" - for parts of north-east and north-west England, north Wales and Somerset. Another 38 flood alerts are in place.
