The bad weather continues to cause havoc in Gloucestershire.

Roads and schools have been affected by the continuing heavy rain. Bromesberrow St Mary's C of E Primary School, Robinswood Primary School in Gloucester, Yorkley Primary School and Parkend Primary School in the Forest of Dean all had to shut, days after school children have just gone back to school after the summer holidays.

Many roads were affected by flash flooding , although all routes in the county are now passable.

Flood watches are now in place on the River Evenlode at Moreton-in-Marsh, on the River Windrush at Bourton-on-the-Water, and on all water ways in the Forest of Dean.

The Met Office is forecasting more very wet and windy weather today, with some particularly heavy showers.

They released this statement: "Further rain is expected on Saturday. Totals of between 30 and 50mm rain are possible in some areas today.

"Many places in the Midlands are currently saturated and there is the risk that any further heavy rainfall will run off the ground and go straight into the rivers. As a result, we could see the levels in watercourses responding very quickly, so we urge people to remain vigilant as the unsettled period of weather continues. There is also the possibility of flash flooding caused by surface water during heavy rainfall.
