The Lake District village was flooded three times in December, and on Tuesday businesses were hit once again and schools sent children home.
Environmentalists said Glenridding’s experience showed the government was not taking climate change’s influence on UK flooding sufficiently seriously.
The Met Office has put severe “be aware” weather warnings in place over large parts of the UK on Tuesday and continuing later into the week.
“Rain will be heavy and persistent at times during Tuesday and into Wednesday,” it said, adding that further rain is likely in western areas of the UK late on Thursday, becoming heavy by Friday.
The Environment Agency has issued 10 flood warnings, which indicate flooding is expected in Cumbria, Wales and along the river Winterbourne in Dorset, and 94 flood alerts.
The agency warned people in the north and south-west of England to be prepared for flooding due to the heavy rain and high tides. Temporary flood defences and pumps are being deployed across the UK, it added.
