Overview
- Rain warnings cover Wales and the south‑west from 6pm Monday to 6pm Tuesday, with separate alerts for northern England from midnight to 3pm Tuesday and wind warnings for north‑west Scotland from Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning.
- Gusts could reach about 70mph in exposed coastal and upland areas, with coastal spray and large waves likely on some routes.
- Forecasts indicate 20–40mm of rain widely, 60–80mm over high ground in south Wales and Dartmoor, and a small chance of 80–100mm on the most exposed hills.
- Officials warn of flooding, travel delays, possible short‑term power cuts, a small danger to life from fast‑flowing or deep floodwater, and potential for some communities to be cut off.
- The Met Office cites uncertainty over the low’s exact track and intensity, advises preparing emergency kits and checking travel plans, and notes early impacts such as event cancellations in Plymouth.
