With lots of rain falling in Worcestershire, some roads have had to close due to flooding.
It’s always worth checking which roads are closed before you head out, especially when the weather is affecting how we get about.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain in Worcester and other areas of Worcestershire.
The poor weather this week has also resulted in some Worcester schools closing temporarily.
