The Met Office has escalated weather warnings to amber as Storm Claudia prepares to unleash torrential rain across significant portions of the United Kingdom this Friday.
Areas At Risk and Timing
The severe amber weather warning is scheduled to be in effect from noon on Friday until the end of the day. The alert covers a wide swathe of the country, including parts of Wales, the Midlands, the South West, the South East, and the East of England.
Meteorologists are forecasting exceptionally heavy downpours, with up to 80mm of rain expected to fall in some areas. This significant volume of rainfall makes flooding highly likely, posing potential risks to communities, transport links, and property.
