The wet and windy weather is expected disruption as Storm Antoni hits parts of the UK.

Roads in Felixstowe became flooded on Friday after heavy rainfall. 

Drivers are also being told to take extra care when on the road. 

The RAC’s Rod Dennis warned: “We expect Saturday to be the worst day on the roads of the summer so far.

“Conditions will be atrocious with a wholly unpleasant mix of very strong winds and locally intense rainfall.

"The best advice is to slow down significantly to stay safe and avoid exposed moorland and coastal routes until the storm passes."
