That's right, after 15 storms last season and a record early start, this storm season is set to begin with storm 1 on Friday. The Start of the storm season is from September through to May. This summer has seen little or no rain fall since June for many parts of the South. This is all set to change with storm one.
Rainfall could become an issue because the ground is parched in places. This means that if heavy rainfalls it will just run off. The heaviest of the rain on Friday is due in the Southwest, South, and Southeast, With heavy Rain also expected to turn up in Northern Ireland, and Scotland. The most likely places for flooding to occur on Friday is Western Scotland and Southwest England, however localised problems could occur elsewhere. Into Saturday and Sunday the heaviest of the rain will be found in Central areas of England and Wales, There will also be some heavy thundery showers elsewhere which could cause surface water flooding due to a large amount of rainfall in a short space of time. The centre of the storm with 996mb will stay quite stable as it ploughs across Ireland and into Central England, however by Sunday it will weaken as it heads out into the North Sea. The Worst of the winds will be to the South of the Storm. This means that on Friday 50-65mph winds will likely be out to sea, but by Saturday morning these winds will have moved into the Irish sea and the English channel. On exposed coasts 70mph isn't out of the Question, however in land winds should stay less than 40mph. By the time Sunday comes around the winds should have died down, with one exception being the East coast where winds could reach 40mph on Sunday. We Will update you if anything changes.
