A Hampshire village is being evacuated as heavy rainfall continues to spread across the UK, with more than 260 flood alerts and warnings issued.
The Environment Agency (EA) said a severe flood warning for Wallington prompted the need for the evacuation notice.
It said: "The Wallington Village next to River Wallington will be evacuated imminently by Havant Borough Council and the emergency services.
"This is due to a failure in the flood defence around the village. The river is currently just below the top of the defence and cracks have formed in the wall.
"The river level is very high and will remain so for some time.
"If the cracks become bigger and the wall fails catastrophically the village will inundated rapidly. Please taken action now."
In addition to the severe flood warning for Wallington, near Fareham, the EA has issued 41 flood warnings and 215 flood alerts for England and Wales.
Meanwhile the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) has issued 12 flood alerts and 7 flood warnings for Scotland regions.
