The UK is on high alert as Storm Ciarán is set to bring heavy rain and strong winds, with flood warnings issued across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The storm, expected to arrive on Thursday, will particularly impact southern England and Wales.
The already saturated ground from recent wet weather raises the flood risk. The Environment Agency advised caution, particularly around coastal areas, and warned against driving through floodwaters.
Over the past weekend, various regions experienced flooding, with homes evacuated and properties damaged. The farming sector has also been hit, with crops rotting due to excessive rain.
