Strong winds and rain will intensify across much of the UK next week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Chris Almond, said: “Winds associated with Storm Kieran are likely to reach 80mph to 90mph along the south coast of England. Further inland areas will have wind speeds of 50 or 60mph. "This deep depression will bring heavy rain to most of the UK and parts of southern England and Wales, with 20 to 25mm becoming more widespread in southern and western areas, but higher areas with 40 to 60mm of rain. Likely. Areas already struggling to clean up from the heavy rain we've seen in the last week or so are likely to experience further impacts such as flooding. Warnings will continue to be updated over the coming days, so it's important to stay up to date with your local weather station's forecasts and warnings, Met forecasters said.
