Lynton, England, United Kingdom Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, will affect southwest England and southern Wales from Monday evening, through Tuesday morning before clearing to heavy showers later in the day. Rainfall totals are expected to reach 20-30 mm widely, with 50-80 mm likely across higher ground, especially Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). With wet conditions prior to this period, the rain will fall onto saturated ground, accentuating flooding impacts in places. Strong southeasterly winds are also likely.

Information on update: Warning type changed to rain only with winds slowly easing Saturday morning, and extended until 22:00 Saturday to capture the rest of the rainfall event. Area adjusted from previous warning to remove Isles of Scilly and some eastern counties. Storm Ingrid (named by IPMA, the Portuguese Met Service), will slowly drift northwards over the Celtic Sea during Saturday, with bands of frequent heavy showers revolving around its centre, merging into longer spells of rain at times. An additional 20-40 mm, and in a few exposed locations 50 mm of rainfall is expected to fall.

With ground conditions saturated in many places, further flooding of roads and flowing water from fields is likely even with modest amounts of rainfall, leading to difficult driving conditions and roads potentially becoming impassable at times. Although not as strong as yesterday, winds approaching gale force during Saturday morning may continue to exacerbate impacts at times, particularly along the English Channel coastline.
