    The UK is bracing itself for flooding across the country, with Brits urged to "start acting" on Environment Agency advice immediately.<\/p>\n

    Coastline properties and towns near to larger bodies of water may be in danger of the downpours set to batter the UK, with the Met Office warning of "heavy showers" to come.<\/p>\n

    Cumbria, Tyne and Wear, and Somerset are all being warned by local authorities to "start acting on your plan" for flood prevention as a trio of alerts were released ahead of a large band of rain.<\/p>\n

    More rain has been predicted in the north east of England, prompting some to believe the overflowing sea levels of the North sea could cause devastating damage.<\/p>\n

    Advice from the Environment Agency reads: "Flooding is possible in this area. Monitor local water levels and weather conditions.<\/p>\n

    "Avoid using low lying footpaths or entering areas prone to flooding. Start acting on your flood plan if you have one."<\/p>\n

    Despite the Met Office not yet placing any official weather warnings, there is confirmation of the showery days ahead on their website, with "heavy showers" a real possibility.<\/p>\n
