Storm Conall Brings Heavy Rain to Southern England

Storm Conall is set to impact the UK with heavy rainfall and strong winds, particularly affecting southern England and Wales, following the recent devastation caused by Storm Bert. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning as up to 50mm of rain is expected in certain areas, with warnings in place from 10pm on Tuesday until midday on Wednesday. More than 90 flood warnings and over 120 flood alerts remain active across the UK, especially in regions like Northamptonshire where severe flood warnings are in effect. Conall, named by the Dutch Weather Service, is the third storm of the season, emphasizing the importance of storm naming for effective communication about severe weather. The rain will likely cause travel disruptions and may lead to flooding of homes and businesses, particularly in southern areas such as Kent and Sussex. Following Conall, colder temperatures and potential frost are anticipated, marking a shift in the weather pattern.
