Strong winds and heavy rainfall cause damage and delays in eastern, south-eastern and central EnglandA man died on Monday after being washed off a harbour wall in Ramsgate, Kent, as strong winds and heavy rain battered parts of Britain. The windy, wet weather affected east, south-east and central England, the Met Office said. Nearly 40 “be prepared” flood alerts were active on Monday afternoon, mostly for south-east England, while two “flooding is expected” warnings were in force in north-east England and Anglia. Met Office (@metoffice) It's currently very wet and #windy across southeast England with steady #rain set to last for much of the day. Strong winds will also lead to large waves and spray in exposed coastal areas and we encourage people to take care in these locations.”
