“There is still a chance this storm may take a more southerly track and miss the UK,” said Eddie Carroll, Chief Forecaster at the Met Office, “bringing impacts elsewhere in northern Europe, but people should be aware there is a risk of severe weather and significant disruption.”

“During the initial phase, heavy rainfall seems more likely to be the main issue,” a Met Office spokesperson also stated, “with surface water flooding perhaps happening quite quickly in places given the intensity of rain falling onto already wet ground.”
