UK Environment Agency warns of ongoing floods, droughts, and waste crime struggles amid severe weather and budget cuts.
The UK continues to experience record rainfall and flooding, with over 100 flood warnings in place. Recent months have seen historic rainfall levels, driven by a blocked jet stream and high-pressure systems. Conditions are expected to turn colder later this week, with some relief forecast for the weekend.
Recent heavy rains in Kenya have caused deadly floods, with 81 deaths and thousands displaced. Meanwhile, England's water levels remain stable after a wetter-than-normal winter, but drought warnings persist due to dry March conditions. Authorities in both regions continue monitoring and responding to ongoing weather impacts.
