00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:04The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for Derbyshire today meaning yet more
00:09heavy rain is expected to produce flooding and travel disruption.
00:13The warning, which runs from 5am today until 9pm this evening, is due to an area of heavy
00:18rain moving across England and southern England during the early hours of today and then edging
00:23north and westwards becoming slow moving.
00:26Experts say that not all areas where the amber weather warning is in place will be
00:30equally affected, but it seems likely that some areas will see 60-80mm and a few places
00:36may receive 100-120mm of rain or more.
00:40This is likely to result in travel disruption and some flooding.
