Chief Meteorologist Jason Kelly commented: “While Sunday’s system doesn’t have the same strength as Eowyn, it will hamper some recovery efforts and bring further wind and rain, with the possibility of some flooding in places.
“Ten to 20mm of rain will fall quite widely on Sunday in central and southern England, much of Wales and Northern Ireland, with 30 to 50mm possible over high ground.”
Thundery showers could top up totals later in the day for some. With this rain falling on saturated ground in many places, there’s a chance of flooding for some, with winds an accompanying hazard with the system.”
