Storm Bert’s “devastating” impact across the UK will continue into Monday with commuters facing chaos across the country.

Torrential downpours led to the deaths of at least four people, as hundreds of homes were left underwater, roads were turned into rivers and winds of up to 82mph were recorded in some places.

More than 200 flood alerts remain in place for England and Wales and travel issues are set to continue into the new week.

Widespread travel disruption is expected with flooding affecting multiple train lines.

The Met Office forecast that rain in the south-east of England would clear on Monday but blustery showers could stick around for the north-west.

Rail passengers have been urged not to travel between Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, and Stansted Airport after multiple fallen trees damaged the electrical overhead wires.

Southern, which runs rail services across the south-east of England, said some services on Monday will be cancelled or revised because of forecast severe weather, including on its London network and the West Coastway between Havant and Southampton.
