Five flood alerts have been issued for some of Suffolk’s biggest rivers, covering many parts of the county.

The Environment Agency have warned members of the public to be prepared as flooding is possible along some of the rivers.

"We are not currently expecting the situation to escalate, or to issue any further warning messages for this area at this time," read the warning issued by the agency.

"The forecast is for showers to get more scattered and less intense through the day as we move into more settled weather."

However, the agency warned those out and about to "take care on riverside footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger.

"We are monitoring the situation and will update this message as necessary."
