Storm Babet is set to batter the UK with “extremely” heavy rain and high winds from Wednesday.
The newly announced storm, which was named today, will bring the UK “extremely” heavy rain and high winds from Wednesday, October 18.
For reference, Scotland typically receives 168mm of rainfall in October, but the country will receive more than this amount in the span of a few days. David Morgan, flood duty manager for the Scottish Environment Protection Agency , said: “Storm Babet will bring heavy rain and high winds across Scotland from Wednesday evening, starting in the southwest before moving across to the northeast through Thursday and into the weekend.
“Impacts from surface water and rivers are likely, and with catchments saturated from recent heavy rain and flooding, we’re urging people to be prepared for potential flooding. There is also concern that surface water flooding may be exacerbated by debris blocking drainage, culverts, etc as a result of the high winds.
