Storm Chandra is expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds and snow across the UK on Tuesday, the Met Office said. Amber warnings have been issued for parts of southwest England and Northern Ireland. Flooding and travel disruption are likely. Chief forecaster Paul Gundersen said the UK faces a “complex spell of weather” as the storm moves in. “Heavy rain will fall on already saturated ground, increasing the risk of flooding,” he warned. Winds could reach 75mph along some coasts. Snow is forecast on higher ground in northern England and Scotland, with up to 20cm possible. The Met Office warned of power cuts, transport delays and communities being cut off. (PC: PA)
