Parts of Wales saw the “worst flooding in 30 years” as a result of Storm Callum at the weekend.

Among the images captured was a waterfall being blown backwards on Skye.

This tweet highlights some of the “astonishing stats coming from the flooding along the river Teifi”, including a peak flow of nearly 600 cubic metres per second (previous record was 456 cumecs).

Meanwhile, construction of a major flood scheme is underway. The £32m project in Perry Barr and Witton will reduce flood risk for 1,400 properties.

Environment Agency construction work gathers pace on the major flood scheme for Perry Barr and Witton, near Birmingham. The £32 million project will reduce flood risk for 1,400 properties currently at risk of flooding from the River Tame, including 950 homes.

The Environment Agency carried out a sod-cutting ceremony to mark progression into the main construction of the second phase. The event was attended by Chair of the Environment Agency Emma Howard Boyd. The flood defence scheme has been developed in partnership with Birmingham City Council and Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council. The partnership ensures that disruption to the park users is minimised and that the local community are kept informed through construction.

The scheme, costing just over £32 million, is part of the Environment Agency’s programme of £2.6 billion investment into flood defences across the country. The scheme was made possible through funding contributions from Birmingham City Council, Regional Flood and Coastal Committee, Arts Council and crowd-funding. Click here to read more
