Storm Conall Brings Heavy Rain and Flood Warnings to Southern England
The third named storm of the season disrupts travel, raises flood risks, and follows widespread damage caused by Storm Bert.
- Storm Conall has brought up to 50mm of rain to parts of southern England, with yellow weather warnings issued by the Met Office.
- Nearly 100 flood warnings remain in place, including a severe 'danger to life' alert for the River Nene in Northamptonshire, where residents have been urged to evacuate.
- Train services across southern England, including routes in Kent, Sussex, and the Isle of Wight, have been canceled due to flooding, with delays also reported in Wales and London.
- Communities are still recovering from Storm Bert, which caused significant flooding, left hundreds of homes underwater, and resulted in at least five deaths over the weekend.
- Meteorologists predict clearer and colder weather in the coming days, with frost and freezing fog expected in rural areas, though minor flooding risks persist in some regions.
