The reason it’s been warranted a storm name is because there will be some strong winds associated with it in some areas, but not so much for [Somerset], however the rainfall associated with it will become a problem.

    We’ve had conditions of late which have led to very saturated situations down on the Somerset Levels, and they’re just one area where we’re really at this tipping point where any more appreciable rain falling on top of those conditions is going to tip the balance more in the way of flooding.

    All of us will see quite appreciable amounts of rain, but the amber warning is there because that particular area has already seen a mopping up of quite a lot of rainfall and will continue to do so potentially for quite a few more days.

    A couple of inches of rain could be seen in some areas, which on top of the conditions we’ve already had is going to make some nasty conditions on the road and likely some flooding problems.
