Persistent rain and flooding is affecting farmers, builders, sports, wildlife – and damaging roads and homes across the UK.

Parts of Devon, Cornwall and Worcestershire have seen rainfall daily for the last 40 days, while provisional Met Office statistics show that Northern Ireland experienced its wettest January in 149 years. Wales has reached 39% of its February monthly average rainfall already.
