AN amber Met Office warning for rain is in force for much of Cumbria today.
The amber warning indicates potential risk to life and property, travel disruption and power cuts.
“In a 24-hour period you could see a month’s worth of rain,” said Met Office meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth on Wednesday night.
A less serious yellow rain warning extends into Lancashire, parts of Yorkshire, southern Scotland and most of Wales.
