London, UK
🌬️ Heads up, London! Storm Goretti is making its presence felt. Expect a blustery day with highs of 6°C and frequent rain showers. Winds are gusting up to 50 km/h, so watch out for flying debris and disrupted rail service. It’s a "sturdy umbrella" (or just a raincoat) kind of day. Stay safe out there! 🎡

More rain forecast after #StormBert hits UK
by David Mercer, Ian Aikman & BBC Weather
November 25, 2024"More rain is due to fall in the coming hours and into Wednesday in southern England and south Wales, where flooding and high winds from Storm Bert have caused major disruption to homes, roads and rail networks.
"At least five people have died in the storm that struck much of the UK over the weekend and prompted criticism about a lack of preparation and insufficient warnings.
"The severe flood warning for the River Nene in Northamptonshire remains in force with a "danger to life and risk of significant disruption", as a holiday park has been submerged for the third time this year.
"Environment Secretary Steve Reed said more flooding was likely this week but it should be 'less severe' than on Sunday."

"When 40° C first appeared in ensemble forecasts for the UK before the July 2022 #heatwave, it revealed the kind of extreme weather that is possible in the current climate. Even if it had not come to fruition, its mere appearance in the models showed that the previously #unthinkable was now possible. In the event, several naturally occurring atmospheric factors combined with background climate warming to generate the record-shattering heat on July 19 that year."
