The UK is bracing for heavy rain and a potential storm, with flood warnings and yellow rain warnings in place. The Environment Agency has issued flood warnings as the country prepares for Storm Ciaran. The Met Office warns of disruption to roads, public transport, and potential danger to life in Scotland. Recent flooding incidents have already occurred in Sussex and Bognor Regis, with a house losing its roof in strong winds.
Heavy rain is being forecast overnight for several parts of the country as wet and windy weather is expected to build up to a “nasty storm” later in the week.

Marco Petagna, a Met Office meteorologist, said: “We’ve had various warnings in force across the UK over the last few days and there are plenty more being issued for the next couple of days.
He said that Tuesday was expected to be still unsettled but quieter before heavy winds and longer spells of rain develop on Wednesday night into Thursday as Storm Ciaran arrives. “People should check their flood risk, sign up for free flood warnings and keep up to date with the latest situation at https://www.gov.uk/check-if-youre-at-risk-of-flooding and follow @EnvAgency on X, formerly known as Twitter, for the latest flood updates.”Credit: Danny Lawson/PA Wire
