Malaysia - The situation in flood-hit Pahang has worsened, with more than 20,000 people evacuated to relief centres and a man and his son feared to have drowned. The two, were moving their belongings to a boat at about 8.30pm in Sungai Isap when they fell into the floodwaters.
Large swathes of the UK are braced for a storm bringing with it gale-force winds, possible travel disruption and the risk of some coastal flooding. Worst hit will be Scotland, where 80mph winds are expected, and the north and east of England. The combination of high tides, gale-force winds, large waves and a tidal surge would bring a risk of significant coastal flooding. In some places sea levels could be as high as those during the devastating floods of 1953 - although flood defences built since then meant many parts of the country were now better protected.
