The Claudia storm has generated heavy rainfall and severe flooding in Great Britain and Ireland, with four severe flood warnings issued by Natural Resources Wales. Firefighters in southern Wales reported 'major problems' due to extensive flooding, with strong currents and blocked roads. Matt Jones, the chief of the fire service, urged the public to avoid the Monmouth area to allow access for emergency teams.
The Meteorological Service announced that rain will continue in England and Wales, but Northern Ireland and Scotland can expect drier weather. Since Monday, a cold weather warning has been issued for certain areas, and the storm has also affected rail transport. In Northern Ireland, rain warnings have been issued for several counties, with risks of flooding and dangerous travel conditions.
