As of January 27, 2025, England is facing 48 flood warnings and 172 alerts, compounded by three yellow warnings for heavy rain and strong winds across England and Wales.

Meteorologist Marco Petagna from the Met Office has indicated that the unsettled wet and windy weather will persist in the coming days, exacerbating the ongoing impacts from recent storms.

Storm Herminia is currently affecting the country, leaving thousands without power, following the devastation of Storm Éowyn last week, which tragically resulted in two fatalities.

In Scotland, recovery efforts are underway after Storm Éowyn, with ScotRail working to clear debris and repair damaged rail lines, although some lines remain affected.

In Somerset, towns such as Somerton and Chard have faced major flooding, leading to the evacuation of around 100 people, with some being transported by boat.

Travel disruptions are anticipated across road, rail, air, and ferry transport, with risks of damage to buildings and high-sided vehicles being blown over due to strong winds.

While Storm Herminia is not as severe as its predecessor, it still poses significant risks with strong winds and heavy rain, leading to fallen trees and localized flooding.

Despite a trend towards improving weather, further flooding is likely until the evening of January 28, 2025, according to meteorologist Marco Petagna.

Rainfall is expected to be substantial, with predictions of 20 to 40 mm across most affected areas, and higher elevations possibly receiving between 50 to 70 mm.

Ben Lukey from the Environment Agency has warned of continued flooding impacts into January 29 and 30, urging the public to stay away from swollen rivers and floodwaters.

Looking ahead, the UK is expected to see snow flurries later this week following the recent storms, with varying weather patterns anticipated.
