KEY POINTS:
LONDON - Emergency workers found a man's body in a submerged field near Tewkesbury, west England, yesterday, bringing to at least nine the death toll in Britain's worst floods for 60 years.
The wettest summer since records began has brought two bouts of flooding across England since the end of June. Firms dependent on tourism are hard hit. Damage is estimated at up to £3 billion ($7.88 billion).
Forecasters issued severe weather warnings yesterday for much of southern England and Wales, with up to 4cm of rain expected.
