"Storm Claudia will bring very heavy rainfall to a large swathe of central and southern England and Wales on Friday into Saturday. This rain will become slow moving, and some areas could see up to a month's worth of rain in 24 hours. Much of this will fall on saturated ground, increasing the chances of flooding and contributing to the amber warnings we have issued."
"As parts of the country are forecast to experience heavy rainfall, I recognise people will be concerned about the risk to their homes and livelihoods. I am in regular contact with the Environment Agency on their response to the expected flooding who, alongside local authorities and the emergency services, are already taking action to keep communities safe."
"Storm Claudia will bring heavy prolonged rainfall across parts of England, with significant surface water flooding probable across parts of central England on Friday. River flooding impacts are also possible tomorrow and into Saturday."
Storm Claudia will bring very heavy, prolonged rainfall across large parts of central and southern England and Wales from Friday into Saturday. Some areas in England could receive up to 80mm of rain in 24 hours, while Welsh high ground may see 100–150mm and 50–75mm across other parts. Rain is expected to be slow-moving and will fall on saturated ground, increasing the likelihood of surface water and river flooding. Amber warnings cover parts of Wales, the south west and the south east of England. Drivers are advised to avoid hazardous travel and never drive through floodwater. Emergency agencies are coordinating responses to protect communities.
