LONDON: Britain is suffering a second weekend of downpours and destructive winds as Storm Dennis sweeps in from the Atlantic just days after the last cyclone battered the country.Dennis, which has already pummeled the Irish Republic, will “bring very heavy rain and strong winds” from Saturday through Monday, according to the UK Met Office, which issued multiple National Severe Weather Warnings, including amber alerts for downpours in England and Wales.
That’s likely to affect travel for more than 50,000 people. The discount carrier said travellers should also factor in extra travel time to the airport. “With Storm Dennis bringing further heavy and persistent rain over the weekend, there is a risk of significant impacts from flooding, including damage to property and a danger to life from fast-flowing floodwater,” Chief Meteorologist Steve Willington said in an online update.
Amber rain warnings were issued for northern England, west Wales and parts of southwest England, with less severe yellow rain and wind warnings covering much of the UK.
