Heavy weekend rain and strong winds brought in by Storm Bert caused widespread flooding and travel disruptions across Britain and Ireland, and killed at least three people in England and Wales.

Ireland is set to go under red, orange and yellow rain and wind warnings as Storm Bert hits the country. The warnings have kicked in with severe flooding, damage and risk to life expected in parts of the country.

Storm Bert will bring “much wetter and windier” weather to Ireland over the coming days. An advisory has been issued for Ireland, together with a nationwide yellow wind and rain warning for Friday night, November 22 into Saturday, November 23 which Met Éireann says will be the start of Storm Bert.
