"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. Within the Amber warning areas, some could see in excess of 150mm accumulate during the event, with 60-80mm fairly widely."
"The Met Office said that in contrast to many named storms, Claudia won't directly cross the UK, though it is responsible for the heavy rain on Friday and into Saturday. The system largely maintains its position to the west of the UK, though the associated fronts will weaken through Saturday. By the weekend, the north of the UK will be firmly under a colder airmass, with overnight frosts,"
Amber rain warnings cover southern and central England and Wales with wider yellow warnings for rain and wind. Rain will spread north through Friday into early Saturday and is expected to be slow moving, producing substantial totals on already saturated ground. Some areas within amber warnings could exceed 150mm, with 60–80mm fairly widely, raising flood risk. Gusty winds in northwest England and northwest Wales could produce 60–70mph gusts in exposed locations. The system stays largely west of the UK and weakens through Saturday. The weekend will see a colder, drier spell in the north and a gradually easing, milder wet spell in the south.
