Overview
- Fresh Met Office alerts include a wind warning from 10pm Monday to 4pm Tuesday for southwest England and Wales, a separate wind warning for northwest Scotland from Tuesday 3pm to Wednesday 10am, and a rain warning for northern England through 3pm Tuesday, alongside an existing rain warning for the southwest and Wales from 6pm Monday to 6pm Tuesday.
- Rainfall totals of 20–40mm are expected widely with 60–80mm over Dartmoor and south Wales, and a small chance of 80–100mm on prone hills, raising the prospect of more than half a month’s rain falling in 24 hours on saturated ground.
- Peak gusts around 60–70 mph are possible on exposed coasts and high ground, with locally stronger bursts in northwest Wales and western Scotland, risking transport disruption and short-term power cuts.
- Met Éireann has a Status Yellow wind warning for all counties on Tuesday from 3am to 9pm, citing possible coastal gales and heightened coastal flood risk due to very high spring tides, plus a Yellow rain warning for several southern counties Monday night into Tuesday morning.
- Deputy chief meteorologists highlight uncertainty over the low’s exact track and depth and advise the public to monitor updates, check travel plans, and prepare emergency or flood kits as warnings may change.
