Hydrologists are also warning of the risk of flash floods on small rivers, localised flooding and a significant rise in water levels.

The downpours have already caused problems on the railway. Train services have been suspended at some stations due to damage to the railway embankment. In addition, the rainfall has led to flooding in courtyards and homes, whilst strong winds have toppled trees in several villages.
