Storm Conall named by Dutch Met Office as weather warning for heavy rain issued
manchestereveningnews.co.ukStorm Conall has been named by forecasters in the Netherlands, as wind and rail blows in to hit parts of the UK. Up to 50 millimetres of rain could fall in parts of southern England after a new weather warning for rain was issued today by the Met Office.
It comes just days after Storm Bert left hundreds of homes flooded, turned roads into rivers and saw winds of more than 80mph across the UK.
Parts of Bury including Ramsbottom were worst hit in Greater Manchester, together with areas in Lancashire just north of the town.
The latest storm, called Conall, is the third of the season and was named by the Dutch Weather Service, which along with the Met Office and Met Eireann in Ireland name storms so that the communication of severe weather is easier.
