As two severe flood warnings are issued in England, both in Worcestershire, images of the devastation caused from heavy rainfall overnight have emerged.

The severe warnings, which mean there is a danger to life, have been issued in England for the River Teme, at Tenbury Wells and Burford, and the River Teme, at Eardiston.

The south Wales town of Pontypridd, which is about 12 miles north of Cardiff, has experienced severe flood overnight, videos posted on social media show.

The clean-up begins across Cumbria for those areas affected by flooding last night due to Storm Dennis.

Some road closures remain in place across the county this morning:

Heavy rain, strong winds and fallen trees are disrupting services on trains today, National Rail says.

Lines across the country are blocked because of Storm Dennis and some trains are operating at a reduced speed due to high winds.

Some of the areas affected include Birmingham, Cheltenham Spa, Shrewsbury, Wellington, Rotherham, Guildford, Milton Keynes and Chelmsford.

Customers for Great Northern, Thameslink, Gatwick Express and Southern have been advised not to travel unless their journey is necessary.

A number of sports fixtures had to be called off yesterday.

Now today's Women's FA Cup match between Arsenal and Lewes has been postponed.

Citing crowd safety issues and weather conditions, the Arsenal Women team said in a statement that the match will now be played on Sunday 23 February.

"The safety of all supporters at Meadow Park is of paramount importance, while we have also taken consideration of the impact of weather conditions on the journey Lewes supporters will be making," the club said.

Some people have had to be evacuated from a Welsh village amid concern over flooding.

Separately from the red weather warning for rain issued for Wales by the Met Office, there are also severe flood warnings in place in Wales, Scotland and England issued by other authorities.

In Wales, two severe flood warnings are in force and in Scotland there are three in place.

The BBC's Leanne Brown is in Mytholmroyd village in the Upper Calder Valley, West Yorkshire.

"It's been a very tense and anxious night for residents here," she tells BBC Breakfast, standing next to the River Calder.

River Calder levels are at about 3 metres - 0.8 metres off the level it needs to reach in order for the area to flood.

"So it is contained at the moment. I think that's largely down to some of the work that the army has done," she adds.

The army bolstered flood defences in the area yesterday.

"I know that that was a welcome sight amongst the villagers here, who are pretty exhausted from the effects of Storm Ciara last weekend, where the water was waist high."

The River Ouse near York is also very high and could reach the devastating levels it reached in 2000.

“Residents tell me that when flooding happens, it happens very quick," she adds.

A red warning for rain in south Wales has been issued, meaning there is a "danger to life" from fast flowing or deep floodwater, the Met Office says.

Cardiff, Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire and Neath Port Talbot are among the areas affected.

The warning means that extensive flooding to homes and businesses is likely.

Buildings or bridges could also become damaged or collapse.

Dangerous driving conditions, loss of power and train cancellations are also to be expected.

There are 320 flood warnings in place across the UK, up five-fold from the 63 that were in place yesterday afternoon.

This is addition to the rising number of severe flood warnings, meaning there is a danger to life.

Meanwhile, 170 flights have been cancelled already today, affecting at least 25,000 passengers.

The UK is waking up to the effects of the first day of Storm Dennis following an intense day of strong winds and heavy rain.

Here’s a recap of where we currently stand:

• Wales now has two severe flood warnings, meaning there is a danger to life. There are also three severe flood warnings in Scotland
• There are also 320 flood warnings in force in the UK – 203 in England, 75 in Scotland and 42 in Wales, meaning that flooding is expected and immediate action is required
• Residents in many parts of the country are anxiously watching the weather, particularly in parts of West and North Yorkshire, where the River Calder and River Ouse are gradually rising
• Network Rail says routes across the country are cancelled and customers are being advise not to travel in some areas
• Hundreds of flights were cancelled yesterday and more are expected to be affected today

We're pausing our Storm Dennis live page for the time being, but will be resuming our coverage later this morning.

Here's how things currently stand:

• Severe weather warnings are in place for much of the country and forecasters say a month's worth of rain could fall in some places
• There are three severe flood warnings in Scotland, dozens of flood warnings in England and 19 in Wales
• The Army has been deployed to help with flood relief efforts, with soldiers being sent to Ilkley and Calderdale in West Yorkshire
• In York, the Environment Agency has warned the River Ouse could reach record levels, last seen in 2000
• EasyJet has cancelled about 350 flights over the weekend, with British Airways also making cancellations

City of York Council is continuing to put in place measures across the city to protect homes and businesses this weekend amid fears of flooding.

The Environment Agency (EA) has confirmed levels on the River Ouse in York are forecast to be close to levels in 2000, which were the highest since records began.

Current forecasts from the EA are showing a potential river level of up to 5.2metres and a worst case level of a potential 5.4metres.

The EA expects the river to peak on Monday evening. Conditions remain unsettled with further rain forecast over the next 48 hours, which could result in changes to the levels and peak timings.

People living near Hawick in the Scottish Borders have been warned to expect "extensive flooding to properties and businesses, with many roads impassable".

SNP MSP Roseanna Cunningham said some people had been evacuated from their homes.

Robin Tuddenham, from the West Yorkshire Resilience Forum, which coordinates the response to flood situations, says he's worried about the impact on the Calder Valley given the impact of Storm Ciara last weekend.

Mr Tuddenham says: "We're seeing very high levels of rainfall on saturated ground and we need people to be vigilant, and really think about whether they need to travel."

The Environment Agency is currently predicting river levels in West Yorkshire will reach their peak on Sunday morning.

Flood sirens have rung out in Appleby, Cumbria, to warn residents that water levels are continuing to rise.

The Appleby Flood Response Group said levels were due to peak just after midnight, and again at about 10:00 GMT on Sunday, but are expected to be lower than last weekend.

It's an absolutely filthy night in the Calder Valley.

The fast flowing water in Hebden Water has risen several inches in the past hour-and-a-half.

From here that water runs down to the River Calder, about half a mile away downstream, and on to places like Mytholmroyd and Sowerby Bridge.

More than 1,100 properties across the valley flooded last week and where I'm standing now I would have been waist deep in water.

At the moment the level is contained but the wind is getting up and local people are telling us that this water under flood conditions will rise very quickly.
