Severe weather warnings in Cumbria, UK
Severe weather warnings in Cumbria, UK
Two towns in Cumbria are warned to take immediate action and prepare for flooding as torrential rain sweeps across the UK.
The Environment Agency has issued severe flood warnings - indicating a risk to life - in northern England this weekend.
There are fears of "significant river flooding" as a band of torrential rain sweeps across the UK, drenching already saturated ground.
Cumbria - which suffered severe flooding in November 2009 - and North Lancashire are expected to be the worst-hit areas.
There is still concern over southwest Scotland and other parts of northwest England and north Wales.
The Environment Agency has issued 6 severe flood warnings, mostly in and around the towns of Egremont and Kendal, on opposite sides of the Lake District.

Residents across northern Saudi Arabia, southwestern Iraq and eastern Jordan are being put on alert for potentially violent thunderstorms.
The danger will shift northwest to southeast across the threat zone from Monday into Tuesday. Tabuk and Medina, Saudi Arabia, and Najaf, Iraq, are among the cities at risk.
"On Tuesday, the severe threat will become more spotty in nature from Medina on south," stated AccuWeather Meteorologist Rob Richards.
"Damaging wind and flooding rain will be the main threats from any severe thunderstorm," Richards said. Hail cannot be ruled out.
Richards added that the impending severe weather danger in this part of the Middle East is rather unusual and will be triggered by a storm system that is diving farther south than normal.
"Typically, [the areas at risk] are dry most of the time and at most, any severe thunderstorm is spotty," he said. "However, we could see a squall line [of damaging thunderstorms] develop early next week."

Roof slates and other debris went flying through the air, landing in people's gardens.
Roof slates and other debris went flying through the air, landing in people's gardens.
More than half a dozen houses in Ballyhenry Avenue and neighbouring Dorchester Crescent were badly damaged in the freak weather event, which local resident Gavin Robinson described as "a mini tornado."
Trees were blown over, garden fences were blown down and ridge tiles and slates were ripped off the roofs of a number of properties.
Despite the flying roof tiles and other debris, local people say no-one was injured during the incident.
Repair work is under way in the area, but the cost of fixing some of the hardest-hit homes could run to thousands of pounds.
A baby with two heads has been born in Bangladesh.
The baby was born late Wednesday and is now being treated for breathing difficulties after being shifted to the intensive care unit of the country's largest hospital in Dhaka.
"When I saw my baby, I was awestruck. She has two fully developed heads. She is eating with two mouths and breathing with two noses," her father, Jamal Mia, said.
"Still, I thank Allah that she and the mother are now okay," Mia told AFP.
Abu Kawsar, owner of the Standard Hospital of Total Healthcare where the baby was born by Cesarean section, said initial tests showed she only has one set of vital organs.

The downside of it is that the rain was accompanied by strong winds and huge hailstones, which caused damage to property and vegetation.
The huge hailstones caused damage on rooftops, leaving gaping holes resulting in rain water leaking into buildings. It also shattered windows on buildings and motor vehicles.
Nhlangano residents ran helter-skelter as they searched for cover while motorists searched for safe places to park.
In some of the streets in the small southern town, vegetation, especially tree branches, were broken as a result of the strong wind.
Showers started pouring at around 3pm resulting in some shops and houses being flooded with water as the heavy downpour continued.
Comment: Other incidents of 'rare' UK tornadoes this year include: West Sussex, Northampton, Somerset and Newport.
