Storm Ciaran will cause a ‘risk to life’ in 20 areas this week, the Met Office has warned, as it delivers another round of severe wind and rain hot on Babet’s heels.<\/p>\n

The system made landfall today, less than two weeks after its predecessor left dozens of regions battling several feet’s worth of flooding and leaving vast tracts of saturated ground.<\/p>\n

The Met Office has warned that Ciaran’s expected deluge and severe winds will settle on the sodden land, easily re-flooding many places still picking up the pieces.<\/p>\n

The agency has issued nearly a dozen alerts over the last few days, some of which are amber, one step below the highest possible risk level.<\/p>\n

While only two of these are in place at the moment, they cover 20 areas, leaving thousands of people’s lives at risk.<\/p>\n

Amber weather warnings begin early in the morning on Thursday, November 2, predicting that, following heavy rain on November 1, severe winds whipped up by Storm Ciaran will batter the southern English coast.<\/p>\n

The first warning shows Ciaran landing in the southwest at 3am with “very strong northwesterly winds” that the Met Office predicts could “disrupt travel, utilities, and cause structural damage”.<\/p>\n

The warning adds that winds will reach 65mph widely, possibly much higher on some “coastal spots” where gusts could accelerate to 85mph.<\/p>\n

In total, the Met Office expects eight areas on the UK’s southwesternmost tip will experience severe winds until at least 1pm on November 2.<\/p>\n
