Three flood warnings remain in place across Yorkshire after Storm Bert brought snow and heavy rainfall to the region. Flood sirens sounded in parts of Calderdale on Saturday, with river levels around Todmorden exceeding 2.4m (7.9ft) - 34cm (1ft) short of levels during the Boxing Day floods of 2015.

The warnings system has evolved from the scheme set up after the 1987 Great Storm into today's three-tier service to forecast the expected impact of severe weather and the likelihood of this occurring.

At least five people have died as Storm Bert swept across the United Kingdom, causing power outages and widespread train and flight cancelations.

Floods caused by Storm Bert have closed a number of road bridges across a county. Bedford Borough Council said bridges at Harrold, Radwell and Felmersham were impassable. It said the flooded A428 at Turvey Bridge had also been obstructed by a broken-down vehicle.

More flooding is “likely” this week after Storm Bert brought torrential rain over the weekend, the Environment Secretary said. Steve Reed said its impacts “should be less severe” than they were on Sunday and Monday morning.

Torrential rain doused most of the country, stymying travel and leading to widespread flooding, landslides, fallen trees and power outages.

A train line has reopened after its tracks were flooded following Storm Bert. Northern's services between Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria and Lancaster were expected to be cancelled until Friday due to problems near Ulverston.

Major travel delays were reported across the United Kingdom on Monday after Storm Bert brought wind, floods, ice and snow over the weekend.
