Emergency services have been kept busy today (September 23) and Sunday dealing with flooding incidents following heavy and prolonged rain across the county.

Letchworth, Hitchin, Harpenden and St Albans have been the worst hit by the weather and Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service have been called to 36 flood related incidents mainly in the north of the county.

Three roads have also been closed this morning; the A505 in Hitchin, Elton Way in Watford and the A404 between Chorleywood and Rickmansworth for the safety of road users.

The wet weather is set to continue today with the Met Office issuing an Amber weather warning for rain this morning for western and northern parts of Hertfordshire and a yellow warning covering the rest of the county.

The warnings are in place until 9pm this evening.

Cllr Phil Bibby, executive member for Highways at Hertfordshire County Council, said: "Our teams on the ground have responded brilliantly to the challenges this weekend's wet weather has thrown at us. They have been working round the clock responding to calls to help keep Hertfordshire moving.

"I'd like to thank residents for promptly reporting issues to us over the past few days and for their ongoing patience as we continue to respond. This is a timely opportunity for us to remind them of the risks of weather like this and the precautionary steps they can take to protect their own property and stay safe and well as they move around the county."
