As heavier rain pours across the United Kingdom, the citizens are only preparing themselves for more flooding.

The rain has spread from the South West to North Wales and northern England.  

The torrential rain is particularly risky in areas where rivers are present, as it increases the chance of river flooding.

In north Wales, River Elwy over flooded, consequently flooding about 40 houses.

The citizens close to the river, situated in St Asaph, do not recall the area flooding since the 60's.

This natural disaster, which has been going on throughout the weekend, has, so far been the cause of death of three people across the UK, whilst causing more than 800 homes to be evacuated.

The wind and rain are expected to lessen within the next few days, however much colder temperatures will take their place.
