Press Association: Cumbrian communities hit by floods during Storm Desmond are gearing up for a second weekend of wet weather.
The Environment Agency said it was checking the condition of flood defences and the position of pumps and temporary flood barriers before a predicted 6.5cm of rain on Saturday.
