Storm Conall sweeps across UK bringing heavy rain with almost 100 flood warnings
Storm Conall, the third storm of the season, has landed in the UK with torrential rain – just as flooded towns recover from Storm Bert’s devastation.
The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for spells of heavy rain which is likely to cause delays on roads, more flooding and power supply issues in places.
London, Kent, Dorset, Portsmouth, West Sussex and Isle of Wight could see up to 40mm of rain with the weather warning in place until midday, while 97 flood warnings remain active across the UK.
It comes after Storm Bert wreaked havoc over the weekend in south Wales and Northampton, where a danger to life flood warning is still in place after River Nene burst its banks.
