Torrential rain forecast for Suffolk after weekend storms

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 09:02 · Archive

Suffolk faces torrential downpours on Tuesday following Storms Austen and Boelo, which caused widespread damage at the weekend.

Suffolk continues to face severe weather with the Met Office forecasting torrential downpours across the county on Tuesday. Coastal areas including Southwold and Felixstowe are expected to experience heavy rain until 2pm, while Ipswich will see downpours until 11am and again in the mid-afternoon. Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury will experience similarly heavy rain until around 3pm.

The latest weather follows Storms Austen and Boelo, which struck the weekend and caused widespread havoc across Suffolk. Fallen trees blocked roads and rail lines, road closures were put in place, and thousands of residents were left without power.

The Met Office has issued two yellow wind warnings for western parts of England including the South West, as well as parts of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Greg Dewhurst, senior operational meteorologist at the Met Office, said conditions would improve later in the week as 'high pressure will build from the south over the coming days so generally settling down but potentially bringing some overnight fog at times'. Daytime temperatures across Suffolk are expected to reach between 12 and 16 degrees Celsius, with cooler nights possible later in the week.
