Further details

Storm Claudia, previously named by the Spanish Meteorological Service, will bring rain north through Thursday evening and night, becoming prolonged and heavy throughout Friday, before slowly easing into Saturday morning. Strong easterly winds will accompany this rain. Accumulations of 30-50 mm are expected quite widely, with some places receiving 60-80 mm, and in excess of 100 mm over east-facing hills in southeast Wales. This, following recent wet weather, is likely to lead to surface water and river flooding impacts. Separate amber warnings have been issued where the likelihood of impacts is higher.
