Flood warnings after heavy rain
Flood alerts are in place across Cumbria following persistent rainfall on Wednesday.
Fourteen Flood Watches - the Environment Agency's lowest level of alert - have been imposed on rivers including the Kent, Eden and Cocker.
The Met Office also warned of possible flash flooding, mainly on higher ground, and south and west-facing slopes.
Drivers across the county are being urged to take extra care on the roads.
Heavy rain in west Cumbria earlier this week prompted flood alerts on several rivers, but they were later given the all clear.
