The Environment Agency has issued more flood warnings and alerts across Norfolk as heavy rain is set to hit the county.

Three red flood warnings have been re-issued in Norfolk with people advised to "act now" and to avoid "any unnecessary danger".

The areas most affected are surrounding the River Nar at Narborough, Marham, Wormegay and Saddle Bow, the River Burn from South Creake to Burnham Thorpe, and the River Waveney from Diss to Bungay.

Flooding of homes and businesses is likely in these areas.

It comes after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for rain from 8am until 6pm tomorrow.

The torrential rain is expected to cause a rise to already high river levels as Norfolk has experienced the wettest February since records began nearly 180 years ago. 

Nine flood alerts have also been issued covering the Norfolk Broads, Diss, Thetford, King's Lynn and Fakenham.

These warnings were issued this morning and are to last the next 24 hours.
