High tides and strong winds have also caused flooding in Wales and western England as officials warn of a continuing threat in the UK coastal areas.
The UK Environment Agency has issued four severe flood warnings, meaning “danger to life” for Gloucestershire and Dorset.
Earlier on Friday, residents in parts of Dorset and Aberystwyth were evacuated from their homes before the high tide on Friday night, said the report.
