Wet and windy weather is continuing to sweep over the UK as yellow warnings remain in place. Central and southern England and Wales have seen flooding and more is likely to follow, the Met Office said. Part of Devon had almost 34mm of rain on Sunday and 33.5mm fell in Stoke Climsland, Cornwall.
An 83mph gust was recorded in Berry Head, south Devon, and 81mph in Capelcurig, North Wales. Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna said: “Things are going to stay unsettled in the next few days. “Storm Eowyn has moved off to the north east now, but we’ve got another deep area of low pressure dominating the weather for the next few days, gradually moving across the UK from the west.”.
A wet and windy spell arrived in the South West on Sunday morning and was moving across the north of the UK overnight. It will not be as powerful as Storm Eowyn. Spanish meteorologists have dubbed the low-pressure system Storm Herminia, as the European country will feel the strongest winds.
Another weather front is moving in from the South West and pushing north and eastwards over England and Wales during the night. Flooding is likely in parts of England and Wales and weather warnings are in place until Tuesday. Mr Petagna said: “What we’re seeing in this particular system isn’t that unusual (for this time of year), but it’s a combination of several events we’re getting which is adding to problems.
