Parts of the UK are bracing for floods as Storm Christoph brings heavy rain, winds and snowfall to some areas.

There's an amber rain alert from the Met office for Stamford and Rutland - which means flooding is possible.

Meanwhile the Environment Agency's issued a flood warning between Stamford and Bourne. It's for the River Glen at Greatford and Kates bridge. They say properties in the Greatford area could be affected, and urges us to be prepared.

Flood Warning from the Environment Agency:

They say the River Glen at Greatford and Kates Bridge - Flooding is expected,immediate action required:

"Heavy rain has been falling on the River Glen catchment over the past 24 hours. The River Glen is now rising, and is forecast to continue to rise throughout the night. The rising river levels have already caused flooding of low lying land and roads in Greatford. Due to the deteriorating weather conditions we now expect properties in the Greatford area to be affected from the early morning of Wednesday 20th January onwards. Low lying properties near the river in Greatford Gardens are most at risk. Stay safe and aware of your local surroundings. Avoid contact with flood water, riverside paths, and stay away from river embankments. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our staff are out in the area to check the flood defences, clear blockages, and assist the Emergency Services and Council"
