As Storm Austen approaches, forecasts indicate heavy rainfall, strong winds, and an increased risk of localised flooding across parts of both Ireland and the UK from Thursday evening into Friday.
In Ireland, Status Orange rainfall warnings are in place for parts of the south and east, alongside a nationwide Status Yellow warning.
In the UK, Amber warnings cover Devon and Cornwall, with coastal gusts up to 80mph, while heavy rainfall across South Wales, the South Coast, and parts of Scotland brings a risk of flooding and disruption to transport, power, and business operations.
