A flood warning has been put in place as Storm Bert continues to impact Hertfordshire.

The government is warning that flooding is "possible" for the Upper River Colne and Radlett Brook, with residents urged to be "be prepared".

A notice posted on the gov.uk website says that river levels are currently high on the Radlett Brook, Colne, and Mimmshall Brook.

Flooding to low lying lands and roads is expected to affect locations in Waterside, Lowbell Lane, London Colney and Warrengate Road throughout today (November 25).

Flood alerts are in place at Colney Heath, London Colney, Borehamwood and Radlett.

Government advice includes avoiding low lying footpaths and any bridges near watercourses.

The warning comes after a weekend where the storm battered Hertfordshire and much of the UK, claiming at least five lives.

Watford's annual Winterfest Christmas lights switch on event was cancelled due to fears over the inclement weather.

This morning, trains have also faced disruption with a reduced Southern service between Clapham Junction and Watford Junction, as well as cancellations on the Abbey Line.

Watford has already been hit with flooding this year, with stretches of the A41 and A405 flooded after a week of torrential rain back in September.
