Winds stronger than Hurricane Gonzalo aftermath A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said there is a risk of surface flooding. "There are some further periods of locally heavy rainfall in some parts of England," she said. On Friday there is a low overall river flood risk, and while some rivers may respond to recent rainfall, the main risk is from surface water flooding. The combination of strong winds and large waves may lead to some minimal disruption from spray and wave over topping for the south west and the north-east coast of England on Friday. The flood risk is very low for the next five days, despite unsettled weather during much of the period. We urge that people check their flood risk and sign up for our free flood warnings. The Met Office has issued three weather warnings for Friday predicting heavy rainfall, with up to 60mm of rain in parts. The average rainfall for November is 121mm. A spokesman for the Met Office said: "There could be gusts of up to 70mph and spells of rain of up to 20mm across the country and 30mm in the worst hit areas and 60mm over higher ground. The weather is expected to improve over the weekend. A rain-soaked lady battles with the elements on Southsea seafront, Hampshire (PA) Laura Young, from the Met Office, said it was not a large amount of water for the time of year and was not expecting a repeat of last years flooding in Somerset. That's not a lot of water for that time of year but it's coming after a lot of rain and you could see a lot of rivers being quite full and responding quite quickly. The problem last year was that there were no dry days in Somerset. There wasn't any chance for the water to drain away. We are looking at some good dry days over the weekend and into the beginning of next week. The Environment Agency said it was not expecting any homes to flood. She said: "There may be further isolated showers over the next few days but river levels are dropping and the risk of flooding is very low. We'll continue to monitor river levels closely and keep local communities informed. In Somerset some agricultural floodplain is currently storing water as a result of planned management of river levels. This is completely normal for this time of year. We are not expecting any properties to flood. It would take very heavy rainfall over a long period of time to put homes at risk. A spokesperson for the Highways Agency said: "We have had no weather related incidents yet. We are keeping a close eye on the weather and have a winter operation to put into place if it gets bad.
