BRITS face yellow weather warnings today after Storm Ciar\u00e1n left a trail of destruction across the country.<\/p>\n
The Met Office has issued a yellow rain warning for eastern Scotland as the storm moves into the North Sea.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Flooding could cause commuter chaos in cities like Dundee and Aberdeen, with a chance of train and bus delays as well as road closures.<\/p>\n
There is a small possibility homes and businesses could be flooded with deep or fast-flowing floodwater.<\/p>\n
The warning, which came into force at 6am yesterday, will stay in place until 6pm this evening.<\/p>\n
A number of schools across the UK are still shut today after Storm Ciaran lashed the country.<\/p>\n
Another yellow warning has been issued for the south coast from Portsmouth to Kent between 3pm and midnight tomorrow.<\/p>\n Heavy showers and gusty winds are likely to flood some homes and businesses and make journey times longer.<\/p>\n Experts are warning Brits to stay away from exposed shorelines, where large waves could put them in danger.<\/p>\n Met Office forecaster Alex Burkill said: "We can expect more unsettled weather as we go into the weekend.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Storm Ciaran will be well out into the North Sea by Saturday.<\/p>\n "But another system is approaching from the west – and is going to bring some heavy rain and strong winds as we go through Saturday.<\/p>\n "We do have a rainfall warning in force for parts of the south east because of those hefty showers, which could turn quite intense."<\/p>\n It comes after Storm Ciaran drenched Brits yesterday – causing a major sewage overflow and leaving thousands of families without tap water in and around Southampton.<\/p>\n Southern Water said: "We\u2019re really sorry that customers are likely to experience either low pressure or a loss of water supply.<\/p>\n "This is due to Storm Ciar\u00e1n\u2019s unprecedented impact on the water quality and levels of the River Test, close to our Testwood Water Supply Works.\u00a0<\/p>\n "This has made it extremely difficult for us to abstract water and treat it for drinking water, and has led to a temporary site shutdown.<\/p>\n "As a result, we are struggling to fill reservoirs in some areas of southern Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.<\/p>\n "Our teams are working around the clock to get our Testwood site back working as soon as possible as stormwater levels fall and water quality improves."<\/p>\n "If you are concerned or are a vulnerable customer and need access to bottled water as a priority, please call us on 0330 303 0368."<\/p>\n Storm Ciaran set a new record for the lowest mean sea level pressure recorded in England and Wales in November.<\/p>\n The heaviest rain was recorded in the Hampshire villages of Leek and Middle Wallop, where 37.6mm.<\/p>\n<\/picture>WASHED AWAY <\/span><\/p>\n
