After enduring the wrath of Storm Elin, Britain now braces for another bout of extreme weather with the arrival of Storm Fergus. Met Office forecasts indicate that the country will face heavy rainfall and strong winds until at least Wednesday, following the aftermath of 81mph gales and torrential downpours brought by Storm Elin.
Storm Elin’s legacy of 75mph gusts caused widespread destruction – from felled trees to flooded roads. Now, Storm Fergus threatens to compound these challenges. The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for rain in various regions, including north-east England, south-eastern Scotland, and north-western Scotland. These areas are particularly vulnerable as they are still grappling with the effects of saturated grounds from previous downpours.
