Overview
- Met Éireann has named Storm Bram as the Met Office issues multiple yellow warnings for wind and rain from Monday evening across Wales and south‑west England, extending to Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland on Tuesday.
- An amber wind warning is in place for northwest Scotland on Tuesday evening for a brief spell of very strong, disruptive winds.
- Forecasters expect gusts of 50–70 mph in many areas, locally 70–80 mph on exposed coasts and high ground, with a chance of 90 mph in the far northwest.
- Rainfall totals of 60–100 mm are possible over upland parts of south‑west England and south Wales, with saturated ground heightening risks of fast‑flowing floodwater, travel disruption and power cuts.
- Met Office officials flag ongoing uncertainty in the low’s exact track and intensity and indicate warnings may be updated, noting that higher‑end model maps showing 80–85 mph depict possible upper‑limit outcomes.
