London braces for plunging temperatures and cold showers as Storm Claudia lashes UK
"As Storm Claudia retreats to the south, high pressure to the north west will drive a cold northerly flow from the Arctic across the UK. This will bring much colder conditions than of late and, whilst generally drier than recent days, there will also be a risk of wintry hazards, such as snow and ice. There will be widespread frosts across the UK, with temperatures dipping as low as -7C in places next week, and daytime temperatures staying in single figures across the country."
"Dozens of residents in Monmouth, south-east Wales, were rescued or evacuated after severe flooding when the River Monnow burst its banks. Natural Resources Wales recorded 119.6mm of rainfall at Tafalog in Gwent in the 12 hours to 6am on Saturday, while 80.6mm fell at Suckley in Worcestershire over the same period, according to the Met Office. Intense rainfall through Friday and into the early hours of Saturday triggered flooding across parts of south Wales and central England."
London will start the week with temperatures plunging into single figures after a relatively mild start to winter, producing frosty mornings and crisp afternoons. Dozens of residents in Monmouth, south-east Wales, were rescued or evacuated after the River Monnow burst its banks following intense rainfall. Natural Resources Wales recorded 119.6mm at Tafalog and 80.6mm at Suckley during a 12-hour period. High pressure to the north west will drive a cold northerly Arctic flow across the UK, causing widespread frosts down to -7C in places, single-figure daytime temperatures, sleet risk in London and a marked wind chill.
