There are no flood warnings currently in force in the United Kingdom.

BBC Weather carries two types of weather warnings issued by the Met Office: Warnings and Early Warnings.
Warnings will be issued when severe weather is expected within the next 24 hours.
Early Warnings will be issued more than 24 hours ahead of severe weather.
There are three categories of event Red, Amber and Yellow - the most severe is Red.
A Warning and an Early Warning of the same colour have the same severity but are forecast to arrive at different times. Thus, the difference between a Red Warning and a Red Early Warning is the lead time of the event.
When a warning is in force, full information can be found at Met Office Weather Warnings
The flood warnings are issued by the Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and sent to the BBC Weather Centre, we then issue a compendium of warnings based on the latest information available. When severe flood warnings are issued they will also be highlighted on TV broadcasts.
There are a number of ways you find out whether your area is at risk from flooding. Both the Environment Agency (for England and Wales) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency update their warnings 24 hours a day via the Floodline number.

March spoilt many areas of the British Isles with a good deal of sunshine and temperatures more suited to June. April and May thus far, therefore, have come as something of a disappointment. Sure, April's rain alleviated the drought in some parts of England but a little sunshine to lighten the gloom wouldn't have gone amiss.
At last, the forecast offers the prospect of temperatures remaining above average for more than just a day or two. Wall to wall sunshine will prove a little more difficult to conjure up.
As June progresses, so conditions may become more unsettled with cooler weather predominating.
Monday is the transitional day from the cloudy and cool weather of recent days to brighter skies and much-needed warmth. Whilst some areas may brighten as the day progresses, some eastern coastal areas of both England and Scotland will be plagued by low cloud.
The middle of the week will be mainly dry and marked by temperatures in the low to mid 20s with plenty of hazy sunshine. Low cloud will again affect eastern coasts. Some Irish Sea coasts may experience similar conditions.
As high pressure builds over Scandinavia, so an easterly wind will develop across the British Isles, helping to lift the low cloud over eastern England. Channel coasts may still experience patches of low cloud. All parts will stay dry with some sunny spells and it will again feel warm away from those areas affected by low cloud.
With high pressure still dominant close to Scandinavia, northern parts of the British Isles are likely to see the best of the dry and settled weather.
More changeable conditions are likely to spread across many other parts, with periods of rain or showers, although still interspersed by drier spells with some sunshine.
Temperatures are likely to be above average in all areas, with the exception of eastern coastal areas, where some low cloud and an on-shore breeze will keep it cool. It will feel very warm in central and southern parts of Britain.
Indications are that the start of June will probably be mainly dry and settled with some sunshine for much of the British Isles. Temperatures will start above average but a return to more unsettled conditions as the month progresses will have the effect of lowering temperatures in many parts.

Generally dry with unbroken, strong sunshine. However cloud is likely to increase in the far southwest, with showers, locally thundery, arriving by evening. Very warm, although brisk easterly winds in southern and some central parts will make it feel fresher.
Mainly dry, clear and warm with winds easing. Southwestern parts somewhat cloudier though, with scattered and possibly thundery showers. Also increasing amounts of fog and low cloud in the northeast.
Largely sunny and feeling very warm, particularly southeastern parts due to lighter winds. Southwestern parts cloudier and less warm though, with further showers and northeastern coasts remaining murky and cool.
A mix of sunny spells and occasionally heavy showers. Showers will be fairly isolated to start, but are likely to become more widespread by Wednesday. Warm with generally light winds.
