A newly-named storm, named Conall, is forecast to bring heavy rain to southern England and Wales, hitting communities still cleaning up from Storm Bert. The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for rainfall in several southern areas of the UK from 22:00 GMT on Tuesday until midday on Wednesday.

Heavy rain brought flooding overnight, shutting some rail lines and prompting warnings of delays and cancellations. The Met Office recorded 43.3mm (1.7in) of rainfall in a 24-hour period on the Isle of Wight.

Hundreds of homeowners in England and Wales were battling floodwaters after the second major storm of the winter brought widespread disruption to the U.K.

Half a month's worth of rain may hit parts of southern England on Wednesday morning as Storm Conall swoops in.

More flooding is “likely” this week after Storm Bert brought torrential rain over the weekend, the Environment Secretary said. Steve Reed said its impacts “should be less severe” than they were on Sunday and Monday morning.
