Unsettled conditions have resulted in the Met Office issuing yellow weather warnings covering today through to Thursday.
The Met Office has issued a number of weather warnings this week as parts of the UK are set to be battered by heavy wind and rain.
Forecasters say Storm Ciaran will bring strong winds and heavy rain to parts of southern England and Wales on Thursday. More severe weather warnings for rain could be issued with parts of the UK potentially falling victim to 50mm of rainfall in one night. Commuters have also been told to expect public transport disruption, including delayed busses and trains as a result of flooding on some roads, Wales Online reports.
“This deep low-pressure system will also bring heavy rain to much of the UK, but the heaviest rain is expected in southern and western areas with 20 to 25mm quite widely across the region but up to 40 to 60mm potentially over higher ground. Heavy and persistent rain will fall onto already saturated ground bringing a risk of further impacts such as flooding in areas that are already struggling to clean up from the heavy rainfall we have seen over the last week or so.
The start of the week is expected to see brighter spells and few showers for most of the UK. However, by Thursday, conditions will become more unstable with heavy rain and strong winds more likely to occur, reports the Manchester Evening News.
