Parts of the UK are set to feel the wet and gusty effects of Storm Claudio today.

Weather warnings are in place as the remnants of the French storm continue to bring stormy conditions.

Several parts of the country felt the impact yesterday and much of the same is in store further north throughout Wednesday. 

A yellow warning for rain is in place for southern Scotland from 10am until 6pm and Northern Ireland from 8am until 3pm.

The Met Office is warning of potential travel disruption and flooding as a result of the forecast downpours in those areas.

Chief meteorologist Neil Armstrong said: ‘30 to 40mm of rain is expected to fall in some areas, and where it falls over ground already wet from recent rainfall as well as fallen leaves there may be spray and flooding on the roads as well as travel delays.’

A yellow warning for wind will be active from 7am until 10pm, with the conditions expected to affect Irish Sea coastal areas this morning.

Blustery conditions are expected to spread to parts of northern England as the day wears on.

The Met Office warns delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely while short-term loss of power is also a possibility.

Mr Armstrong added: ‘Much of the UK can expect a spell of strong southerly winds on Wednesday, but the warning area highlights where gusts of up to 65mph will be and therefore where there are likely to be some travel delays.’

Mild conditions have prevailed throughout October, with some parts of the country seeing the mercury hitting the 20C mark at times.

Warm air blowing up from the south has made conditions unseasonably warm, though forecasters have described it as ‘unusual but not exceptional’.

The latest statistics show that temperatures in the first ten months of 2022 make the year the warmest on record so far, the Met Office said.
