Flooding in various parts of the UK, particularly in Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, has prompted rescue operations for dozens of individuals. Emergency services received hundreds of distress calls, rescuing 59 people, while many cars were stranded. Schools were closed, and significant disruptions occurred in transportation due to heavy rain and snow. Weather warnings remain in effect, particularly for snow and ice across Wales and parts of England. Experts link the flooding to an aging drainage system and increasing rainfall attributed to climate change.
