The United Kingdom is preparing for heavy rain and flooding ahead of Storm Ciarán's arrival later this week, with flood warnings in place across England, Scotland and Wales. Ciarán is forecast to bring strong winds up to 90mph and heavy rain to southern England and Wales on Thursday. It comes after recent flooding across the UK due to persistent wet weather, saturating ground conditions and increasing flood risks. The storm will likely bring further flooding to some areas already deluged, with over 20mm of rain expected widely and up to 60mm in higher ground. Ciarán is described as a nasty storm that will continue unsettled conditions after recent evacuations and damage from flooding.
