independent.co.uk

The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for wind and rain across much of England and Wales, with over 40 flood warnings in effect. Heavy rain is expected, particularly in the West Midlands and Wales, with potential flooding of roads and properties. Stormy weather has caused transport disruptions, including road closures in Devon and Wiltshire. While some rail services have resumed in Scotland, others remain affected by damage from Storm Eowyn, with many customers still without power in Northern Ireland. A new low-pressure system, named Storm Herminia, is expected to bring strong winds and heavy showers. The unsettled weather is forecast to continue, with further rain and possible thunderstorms in the coming days.
