The Met Office has issued amber weather warnings for the South West and south coast for Thursday as Storm Ciaran approaches the UK. Parts of Northern Ireland have already been flooded due to heavy rainfall and people have been warned not to travel. Met Office yellow weather warnings for rain are in place until 9am on Wednesday. It has warned of between 25mm and 60mm of rain in places, and up to 100mm is possible over higher ground.
She told Sky News the key features of Storm Ciaran would be 'wind damage' and a 'lot of rain', adding the rain would 'slowly move northwards'. Ms Nasir said the storm would impact southern areas of the UK on Wednesday evening as it approaches, as well as on Thursday morning during rush hour, before it tracks northwards. 'We could see some coastal flooding because the winds will be so strong, particularly initially across more southern areas,' she said.
