Flooding is worsening in the U.K., and it's probably not going to let up anytime soon.

Forecasters predict that Britain will be hit with more storms this week, according to The Guardian. Some rail lines have been shut down and flooded roads are impassable for cars.

High winds are also toppling trees.

Thousands of people have been told to evacuate their homes because of the flooding, the Mirror reports. Some rivers are reaching record water levels.

People who live near certain stretches of the River Thames are especially vulnerable, according to The Independent.

These photos show how severe the situation is:
