North Wiltshire Man and Dogs Slog Through Floodwater Toward Dazzling Sunset

Storyful

A fiery sunset reflected in floodwater near Latton in northern Wiltshire, England, on January 21, as Storm Christoph cleared the area.

Local news reports said flood warnings were in place for areas in Wiltshire and more rain and snow were expected through the weekend.

Storm Christoph brought heavy rain and snow to the UK, causing flooding in multiple homes and roadways in England and Wales, reports said.

The UK’s Met Office reported rainfall totals reached a high of 163 mm (approximately 6.4 inches) in Wales’s Powys area. Credit: Liz Webster via Storyful
