The weather conditions have resulted in widespread flooding, landslides, and power outages across England and Wales, with at least three fatalities. Over 120 flood warnings are active across Britain, with residents in parts of Wales advised to boil water before using it due to possible contamination. Key railway routes have been suspended, and travel is strongly advised against.

    1. Forecasters are describing this as a 'multi-hazard event' with the worst of the weather yet to arrive, and so our members have extra engineers and contact centre teams available, and control rooms are monitoring the storm closely as it develops.
