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.

Clearer weather is forecast as Storm Conall moves on to the Netherlands. Transport was disrupted on Wednesday as heavy rainfall battered southern parts of the country. A yellow warning has been issued for fog across parts of western and southern England and along the Welsh border until 11am on Thursday.

Storm Conall was officially designated a severe storm in the Netherlands on Wednesday evening, after sustained winds averaged at level ten on the Beaufort wind force scale. That ranges from 88 to 101 kilometers per hour,
