"Gusty winds will impact the Isles of Scilly, western Cornwall and southwest Wales before moving north up the Irish Sea where eastern parts of Northern Ireland will see impactful easterly winds through Tuesday. An Amber warning for wind has been issued for eastern Northern Ireland. Gusts of 60-70mph are likely widely within the Amber warning area, with 75mph gusts possible in coastal locations."
"Heavy rain will also be a hazard as it falls on sensitive areas that have already seen persistent wet weather in recent days, this could lead to some flooding impacts. An Amber warning for rain has been issued for south Devon, much of Dorset, southern Somerset and southeast Cornwall where 30-50mm of rain could fall widely, with up to 60-80mm over higher ground of south Dartmoor."
"Met Office Chief Forecaster, Paul Gundersen, said: "Storm Chandra will bring a range of hazards to the UK through Monday night and Tuesday. Initially strong winds will impact the Isles of Scilly, western Cornwall and southwest Wales which are still vulnerable after Storm Goretti, gusts of 70 to 80mph are possible here. Heavy rain is an additional hazard as it falls on saturated ground in Dorset and southern parts of Devon, Somerset and Cornwall."
Storm Chandra will bring wet and windy conditions from Monday night into Tuesday. Strong easterly gusts will affect the Isles of Scilly, western Cornwall and southwest Wales, then move north up the Irish Sea to eastern Northern Ireland where an Amber wind warning is in place with widespread 60-70mph gusts and 75mph possible on coasts. Yellow wind warnings cover Cornwall, southwestern Wales and parts of northern Devon. Heavy rain falling on saturated ground threatens flooding in south Devon, Dorset, southern Somerset and southeast Cornwall, with 30-50mm widely and 60-80mm on south Dartmoor. Colder air on the system's northern edge will produce hill snow in Scotland and northern England, with 2-5cm common and 10-20cm above 500 metres.
