Storm Conall brings more rain to parts of England and Wales

Heavy rain over Tuesday night has resulted in nearly 50mm of rain falling on Dartmoor and widely 20-30mm elsewhere across southern England.

With rain continuing through Wednesday morning, rainfall totals will edge up a bit further for some places around Dorset, Sussex, Surrey, Greater London, Essex and Kent.

A yellow Met Office rain warning is in force for these regions until midday.

While there has been overnight rain elsewhere across England and Wales, including areas flooded during Storm Bert, rain totals have been lower at around 3mm-8mm so should not lead to more flooding.

The rain is linked to a developing area of low pressure crossing west to east across southern England.

In parts of south-east England, trains were cancelled along three routes due to flooded tracks, while five other routes were facing disruption on Wednesday morning.

All Gatwick Express trains were suspended and Thameslink passengers were advised not to travel in the morning. Delays were reported on many London Underground lines due to high passenger numbers.

The worst of Conall will be felt in the Netherlands. There will be some strong winds in eastern England later on Wednesday as it develops over the North Sea.

Flood warnings are concentrated along the River Severn, from Shropshire into Gloucestershire, the Bristol Avon, as well as the River Nene in Northamptonshire.

A severe flood warning for the Billing Aquadrome holiday park – where a major incident was declared over the weekend – and nearby businesses along the Nene remains in place.
