Storm Bram brings gusts up to 90mph and up to 100mm of rain, causing travel disruptions, flooding, and power outages across the UK and Ireland, Met Office warns.
- On Monday, December 8 the Met Office issued an amber rain warning for parts of Wales and the South West of England, with Storm Bram causing widespread transport disruption.
- Storm Bram is driven by a deep low‑pressure system producing strong south to south‑westerly winds and heavy rain on saturated ground across western Ireland and the UK.
- Forecasters warn many places will see heavy totals of 50 to 75mm with up to 80mm and isolated 100mm, gusts 70–80mph, north‑west Scotland gusts up to 90mph, and fast‑flowing floodwater causing power cuts and building damage.
- Airlines and ferry operators cancelled services, with British Airways delaying a first wave affecting an estimated 1,500 passengers and Belfast City grounding at least 18 departures.
- The Met Office urged households and businesses to prepare a flood kit and secure important documents, with conditions expected to be drier by Wednesday but strong winds possible on Friday.
